Canaries in a Coal Mine

Somewhere along the line, I think I just quit

Waking you up every single time I had a bad dream

I remember them kids on your living room floor

Chinese food, ain't there no more, it's a sad thing

'Cause my God, we choked on every sorry 'til we sang our voices dry

Ignored every single warning, but broken wings can't fly

Like canaries in a coal mine

Saw the cracks before the landslide

We were never getting out alive

Sometimes love just dies

Like canaries in a coal mine

Do you remember that morning in the upstairs hall

Brushed right by you, said nothing at all and that said everything?

Blame it on time, it does what it does

It is what it is and it ain't what it was and it's damn shame

'Cause my god, I swear it was just summer

We were two birds on a wire

And I can't help but wonder, will we ever see the light?

Like canaries in a coal mine

Saw the cracks before the landslide

We were never getting out alive

Sometimes love just dies

Like canaries in a coal mine

Like canaries in a coal mine

'Cause my God, we choked on every sorry 'til we sang our voices dry

Ignored every single warning but broken wings can't fly

Like canaries in a coal mine

Saw the cracks before the landslide

We were never getting out alive

Like canaries in a coal mine
