lyrics

It’s all fun & maybe it’s all games
Another easy breeze until someone’s bough breaks
Here you stand snapped in half
Raise the stakes and have the final laugh
Stay away from me I’m leaning on nostalgia
And it seems I’ve been on a winning streak
If you outlash me be careful as your cradle spirals to the ground
Cold hard disregard closing in, wearing you down
Even the air around you is thick in your dreams
Digging deep into the wounds you can’t see
How will you heal
How will you reveal them when it’s time for you to concede

I feel like starting over x2

Don’t you even know your heart won’t turn to gold
Don’t you even know your heart won’t turn to gold when it’s been stone

Alarm bells ring signaling the need to slow down
Always on the move cause you never learned how to hold still
Chasing a thrill
Feel the rush until your weakness spills
Don’t be so rough this is fragile, a delicate force
You’re not a child anymore
Feed the urgency
I’m running out of patience and you need to find what you’re looking for

Don’t you even know your heart won’t turn to gold
Don’t you even know your heart won’t turn to gold when it’s been stone
When it’s been stone
Don’t you even know your heart won’t turn to gold when it’s been stone
