Heartbeat

When our lives turn to horrors and the pictures curl within
our love is nothing and we start to shed our skin
Because tomorrow's nothing different to what happened yesterday
Sooner or later, we'll learn from our old ways

Can I ask you, did you ever think you knew me?
Did you ever think you saw me in me?
And did you ever think to see my heart for what it was:
A stone crumbled to pieces within me

Can you feel my heartbeat
like another thing to keep underneath?
Won't you hear me breathing
when you tell me that you're leaving?
Won't you hear me breathing, I'm breathing
Must you be leaving?
Must you be leaving?

When our fairy tale fell apart in our hands to burn alone,
did you turn around and think maybe she's the unknown?
Because days blur into days and knife wounds won't heal
You won't stop choosing my heart to steal

Can I ask you, did you ever think you knew me
in between breaking everything in me?
Could you ever wonder whether what met your eyes
was anything but barely-remembered lies

Can you feel my heartbeat
like another thing to keep underneath?
Won't you hear me breathing
when you tell me that you're leaving?
Won't you hear me breathing, I'm breathing
Must you be leaving?
Must you be leaving?

Tomorrow's nothing different to what happened yesterday
when you denied all my pleads for you to stay

Won't you hear me breathing
when you tell me that you're leaving?
And I want to ask you to just give me one more day
but you've already turned away
You've already turned away
