Wounded Hearts

作曲：seun visal

作词：seun visal

The rain is tapping rhythms on a window stained with dust We let our golden past turn to iron and to rust

I'm sitting at the table, staring at your empty chair And fighting with the habit of imagining you're there

We used to be a fire that could keep the winter back And now we're just the smoke rising through the ceiling crack

I'm tracing every scar that we gave each other then Wondering if the us we were will ever breathe again

We bled out all the kindness until only pride was left Now I'm wandering the rooms of a heart that's been bereft

Oh, we're just two wounded hearts being out of time Trying to find the reason for the rhythm or the rhyme

We held on way too tightly till we crushed the very thing That used to make us fly, that used to make us sing

Now the bandage has fallen and the salt is in the deep Of these wounded hearts with promises we couldn't keep

I found the photograph we took the night we first moved in Before we knew how many battles we were bound to win or lose

You were laughing at the boxes, I was tangled in the tape We never thought we'd need to find a method of escape

But the walls started shrinking and the words started to sting And we learned how much damage a little silence can bring

They say that time is a healer, that the jagged edges fade But I'm still bleeding from the choices that we made

How do you fix a vessel that's been shattered into sand?

How do you hold a memory with a shaken, broken hand

Oh, we're just two wounded hearts

Beaten out of time, trying to find the reason for the rhythm or the rhyme We held on way too tightly till we crushed the very thing

That used to make us fly, that used to make us sing Now the bandage has fallen and the salt is in the deep Of these wounded hearts with promises we couldn't keep

Oh, I'm still dead Are you healing too?

Or are you haunted by the ghost of what I did to you

Ticking like a clock in an empty, darkened room Wounded hearts waiting for the bloom

Thanks for watching
