Your face is blank
Nothing has changed
Promises made
Nothing to gain

I won't leave alone
I'll take you with me

Why do our smiles miss so many teeth?
Hidden behind these split lips and rosy cheeks
And I play the patented hopeful role
Grasping at every chance
True romance in a friendship setting
And then falling into the idea that everyone has forgotten everything that everyone else has done to them

Hands tight, all grasping in space
Life drains away
Promises made
And we're dying...
And we're dying in this state

Your face is blank

All these words that we throw
I hope this won't take too long

I'll glance back from that new place
Realizing that I could never dish this out
You see, I could never drink the tears from the cheeks of the young
And then be left...
Left to pray
Pray for a decent thought
Or a phone call... on a random Sunday

Hands tight, all grasping in space
Life drains away
Promises made
And we're dying...
And we're dying in this state

Your face is blank
Nothing has changed
Promises made
I've got nothing to fucking gain

And I'll take us
We'll find ourselves in a new place
And then they'll wake up
And find our beds are empty

Hands tight, all grasping in space
Life drains away
Promises made
And we're dying...
And we're dying in this state

I won't leave alone
I won't leave alone
I won't leave...
