lyrics

Solid ground
These hips are poised on
Solid ground
These lips are poison

Tightly wound
The coils in my skin don’t make a sound
You never could unwind me

You had a shot but you misfired
You call me sweetie and I call you liar

I can’t believe
I can’t believe you had the heart
To take our secrets to the fire, burn and shame
Until we’re battlegrounds apart
And you can say
That you alone in solace stance
But don’t forget that when you cried on my shoulder
Steady was my hand
Steady was my hand

Tell your friends
About my broken heart
Lets play pretend
You always were good at games

Make believe
That after dark you are not drawn to me
Who’s faking it now?

You had a shot but you misfired
You call me sweetie and I call you liar

I can’t believe
I can’t believe you had the heart
To take our secrets to the fire, burn and shame
Until we’re battlegrounds apart
And you can say
That you alone in solace stance
But don’t forget that when you cried on my shoulder
Steady was my hand
Steady was my hand

And now I know
That I’ll be sleeping here alone
While you pretend to love the one who shares your bed
She seems sweet
But you won’t tell her all the things
You told me when you knew my hand was steady in yours

I can’t believe
I can’t you had the heart, yeah

I can’t believe
I can’t believe you had the heart
To take our secrets to the fire, burn and shame
Until we’re battlegrounds apart
And you can say
That you alone in solace stance
But don’t forget that when you cried on my shoulder
Steady was my hand
Steady was my hand
