lyrics

I didn't mean to wear my heart on my sleeve
Searching for the oxygen, I just can't breathe
I've been a mess in this disastrous dream
You're staring at me blankly as my heart is ripping at the seams

Why did you have to go?
Lost in the afterglow
I'm drowning in the radio

The stars are falling in the dead of night
My heart is calling for some saving, maybe you could
Give me a reason why you had to leave
I didn't mean to wear my heart on my sleeve

Left with an echo and a hazy memory
I can't see, I can't breathe

What made you turn away?
I'm stuck in yesterday
The shadows screamed on Saturday

The stars are falling in the dead of night
My heart is calling for some saving, maybe you could
Give me a reason why you had to leave
I didn't mean to wear my heart on my sleeve

I can't sleep anymore
I'm heading down to the liquor store
Pour some gin and tonic then pass out on the floor

The midnight air is creeping through the walls
I'm frozen in time, I'm losing my mind
I can't pretend that I don't care at all
I'm drowning in the darkness, the light is so heartless

How did things get this way?
Now I'm a castaway
Just searching for a getaway

The stars are falling in the dead of night
My heart is calling for some saving, maybe you could
Give me a reason why you had to leave
I didn't mean to wear my heart on my sleeve

I can't sleep anymore
I'm heading down to the liquor store
Pour some gin and tonic then pass out on the floor
