Forget Me Knots

And everything changes Until it’s all just the same Another midnight passes by And I’m still just a name Written at the bottom of a Please forget me card Returned to sender baby Postmarked my loving heart I was the shipwreck in your sea You’re still the land that buries me In need of salvage Open up my chest to set me free This is the sound Of life sinking down Every gutter Of every street where the signs still spell your name It’s the love that sets us free It’s the love that lets us bleed It’s the life it’s the life You took from me Now I feel you under my skin I feel you in these veins You flow through my lungs And I never want to breathe again I’ll hide you in pockets of Jackets I’ll never wear again WE ALL WANT WHAT WE CAN’T GET So here we are back at the start Another year in the life we’re cheating Reanimate my dried up heart START BEATING But I’m sick and tired of these fights The hollow eyes / The sleepless nights Pull the plug on a broken heart STOP BEATING Life’s got me beat Love’s got me beat I’m giving up I admit defeat
