lyrics

'Have I tampered with your heart?' he says
though I don't reply, the answer is yes
he broke into me like a midnight theif
he stole my heart and then had to leave
he built me a castle to live in alone
he cut my hair and he broke my throne
he told me things that I wanted to hear
he was someone to love but he was something to fear

So I'll sit in the dark for a while
because you broke my heart with a smile
x4

Should I hold back, or should I attack?
I could really do some damage if I wanted to
should I hide away or should I make him pay
when I'd love to lie and say that I'm not haunted
you're always saying no until you say yes once
there's safety in having an option you don't use
it's nothing like the bliss you knew in ignorance
but better than having to choose

Chorus

You broke into me like a wave on a beach
but the only way you held me was out of reach
perhaps it was because we couldn't get enough
we don't like it easy, and we don't get it rough
but the only thing that made you wrong for me
was that I was wrong for you, and you couldn't see
that I don't disappear when you shut your eyes
or even when you fill your head with lies

Chorus
