Save Your Breath

Lie awake late, count the ways that we try to pretend
Tear a new wound when we peel the glue that's left
Oh, yeah

So don't say we're okay
We both know you can't change the rules
Even if you throw the book away
Away

Save your breath
We're screaming from our hearts
Just reaching through the dark
We don't say what we meant
Like writing on a mirror
As quickly as it's there, it disappears

Bruised on the heel, from circles around my bed
We put fuel in the fire, then act surprised as it spread
Oh, yeah

The embers kept us warm
They wouldn't burn you swore
But now we're standing in the ashes

So just save your breath
We're screaming from our hearts
Just reaching through the dark
We don't say what we meant
Like writing on a mirror
As quickly as it's there, it disappears

Save your breath
We're screaming from our hearts
Just reaching through the dark
We don't say what we meant
Like writing on a mirror
As quickly as it's there, it disappears
