Locked Bars

Right now I'm trying to imagine

How many weeks we've been apart

Because I can't seem to keep track

Anymore

You see I keep tripping up and falling

Into unfamiliar faces

Being beaten, pulled apart

Until I'm gone

But it all seemed to get better

When I'd fall into your arms

My problems wouldn't matter

Next to you

And now it's me you're running away from

With the scars that hide your skin

Ready to start off with somebody

New

--

Give me a chance again

Give me a chance

Give me a chance again

Because I'm trapped behind locked bars

Waiting for you

--

And it's been a fucking year now

I'm still trying to keep grips

I'm sat here wondering

Where we've gone

You're probably celebrating

One whole year of being free

While the alcohol in my blood

Is going strong

And our love story was cliche

One you read about in a book

But it was way too perfect

To be true

But now it's me that you've forgotten

Just tears shed over ghosts

While you're spending all your love on

Somebody new

--

Give me a chance again

Give me a chance

Give me a chance again

Because I'm trapped behind locked bars

Waiting for you

--

Right now I'm lying on my deathbed

Too many pills inside my blood

To say it was an accident

Would be a lie

I hold a skirt I never threw

Because it used to look so good on you

Your smell still lingers in the fabric

I close my eyes

And in that last moment I can see you

Your face, your hair, your eyes

Why I'm so happy,

I haven't got a clue

Because it's me you're running away from

Faded scars hide your skin

Already happy now

With somebody new

its about a broken boy and a relationship that caused his ex to self harm and run away. literally just randomly came up with this idea and almost puked the lyrics out; they were so easy.

i can imagine this being acoustic and sad and slow, and guess what? I had a tune for this since the start so I guess that if i could play an instrument then I'd have written a song.
