Nothing Ever Stays — These Strings Will Tell lyrics

Lyrics

Thinking of the ones we’ve left at home… discovering new meaning through a
phone… as this white wash look takes over my face… there's not a metaphor to
describe this place
The first time, she cared for, everything that was so dear to me, i sang her,
to sleep once, something simple just a soft little melody
1st chorus:
My fingers, press the steel, it tells me what to sing, this heart beats like a
drum, to keep your feet in rythm
2nd vs
Everything that’s done runs through my brain… everything she said seems to
leave a stain. Something about how i didn’t try enough. But i tried so hard she
just asked to much
The last time, she murdered, everything that was so dear to me. With tongues
tied, i whisper, something awful that i never really meant inside
2nd chorus:
My fingers, press her skin, it tells me what to say, her hear beats like a drum,
to keep her song in rythm
And whatever happens now, is not just up to me, look through your tears to
watch me bleed. It was a heavy price to pay, i took your fears away,
we can start it over again
Now i see behind these eyes of blue… cause behind the brown would never do.
I try and sing a song so sweet and clear… something simple so the words won’t
interfere…
