[Concerned Face]

(verse 1)
you can't do this to me
you can't just leave me hanging with dread
like a rope by a thread
like someone hanging dead

you can't do this to me
because you promised you'd always be here
but you lied and now I'm alone with my thoughts, dear
and my head is a scary place to face by myself when I'm full of fear

(chorus)
you chain my heart to yours and swallow the key
we're forever linked for all eternity
you said you'd never hurt me
but those words were empty

(verse 2)
now I sit, and I sit
and I wait it out
I'll wait for you until the end without a doubt
even if you make me pout

now I sit, and I sit
and I lay in a heap
my forehead full of wrinkles so deep
my cheeks stained as I weep

(bridge)
embers and shadows fill my head for hours on end
I follow the footprints to the deepest corners just around the bend
of the broken fragments and shattered pieces I haven't seen in too long
you'd pushed those miserable shards of myself out but now I see them clearly
and that's why I write this song

(chorus)
you chain my heart to yours and swallow the key
we're forever linked for all eternity
you said you'd never hurt me
but those words were empty
