Heart by Heart

I drive the byways of the city you hate
I keep up with your best friends you call your mates
I found your diary
You wrote we were the golden age, but now there's only one blank page
 
And you know all my old ways
How to break me and leave no singe trace
Left me crestfallen and broken apart
'cause I know your heart by heart
 
If it's all I deserve tell me why I believe all your double-faced lies
Made your wisdom my own kind of art, learning your heart by heart
 
I know I'm never good enough for welcome
I'm always too much for your sadness, for your fun
So I keep quiet and listen as you make the list of 107 reasons
I look so crumbled and stumbled and you...
 
...know all my sides and my curves
You say I should've known that love hurts
I hoped you were wrong from the very start
But learned your heart by heart
 
If it's all that you're ready to give - let me go
Take me back to my town, take me home
Tear all my girl things you can't stand apart
'cause I know your heart by heart
 
Remember I tried to keep you safe
Swore to carry your secrets to my grave
You never knew my address, my colours, my name
Now I see why you thought it's all just the same
 
Holding hands in the rainfall was never enough to surmount the hall
I tried to take my place on the start line
But...
 
... I rushed outside just to fall down on the snow barefoot in my nightgown
You stole my wreath, didn't give me a crown
And I'd die right now
 
If it's my past to blame - then expire all my terms, all my wildest fires
All your molecules breaking apart
Cause I knew your heart like my own heart
