Sawdust
We built a framework of empty flirtation
Strongest emotion but weakest foundation
You were too broken and I was too fragile
Hit by the storms that our walls couldn't handle
Splinters in our hand
Cause every time we build it up
We always go and break it down
Killing us with every cut
Grinding us into the ground
Should we pick up the pieces
Or should we leave this labour of love
When the only thing that's left of us is sawdust
Maybe it's only addiction to trouble
That left us here standing surrounded in rubble
And we don't know why for the millionth time
We're still pretending that this can survive
Splinters in our hand
Cause every time we build it up
We always go and break it down
Killing us with every cut
Grinding us into the ground
Should we pick up the pieces
Or should we leave this labour of love
When the only thing that's left of us is sawdust
Torn up, ripped up shredding our love
Lost in our mistakes
Wrecked and wasted we've created
Something built to break
Cause every time we build it up
We always go and break it down
Killing us with every cut
Grinding us into the ground
Every time we build it up
We always go and break it down
Killing us with every cut
Grinding us into the ground
Should we pick up the pieces
Or should we leave this labour of love
When the only thing that's left of us is sawdust
We built a framework of empty flirtation
Strongest emotion but weakest foundation
Strongest emotion but weakest foundation
You were too broken and I was too fragile
Hit by the storms that our walls couldn't handle
Splinters in our hand
Cause every time we build it up
We always go and break it down
Killing us with every cut
Grinding us into the ground
Should we pick up the pieces
Or should we leave this labour of love
When the only thing that's left of us is sawdust
Maybe it's only addiction to trouble
That left us here standing surrounded in rubble
And we don't know why for the millionth time
We're still pretending that this can survive
Splinters in our hand
Cause every time we build it up
We always go and break it down
Killing us with every cut
Grinding us into the ground
Should we pick up the pieces
Or should we leave this labour of love
When the only thing that's left of us is sawdust
Torn up, ripped up shredding our love
Lost in our mistakes
Wrecked and wasted we've created
Something built to break
Cause every time we build it up
We always go and break it down
Killing us with every cut
Grinding us into the ground
Every time we build it up
We always go and break it down
Killing us with every cut
Grinding us into the ground
Should we pick up the pieces
Or should we leave this labour of love
When the only thing that's left of us is sawdust
We built a framework of empty flirtation
Strongest emotion but weakest foundation
