Degrees

Can you love someone so much?
And still recoil
At the thought of their touch
Held it all in place for so long
'Til you forgot
Where it all went wrong
For every time it felt so right
Were 10 she kept you
Scared for your life

Casual transparent lies
You nearly died
From the splits in your sides
Slippers creeping
On darkened stairs
How much do you really care?
You can only hold your head so high
'Til you're dizzy
From the stars in your eyes

Seems half the world found out
Before you had the slightest clue
And roaming streets
In the pouring rain
For a sign
That'll get you through

Be easy if her heart
Didn't break like glass
She never needed it
'Til she broke down
When you're thawed
And you've steadied your hands
I believe you'll see
You can be
We can be
We can be alright

You can only dig yourself in so deep
'Til you forget
Promises that were real
Can only smile politely in-kind
Raise an eyebrow
It slipped from your mind
For every time
It felt so right
Were 10 he kept you
Scared for your life

Head to toe
Never felt so cold
In sobering morning light
Magazine cover dreams
Borrowed and blue
You've lost the will
For the fight

Be easy if his heart
Didn't break like glass
He never needed it
'Til he broke down
Now you're thawed
And you've steadied your hands
I believe you'll see
You can be
We can be
We can be alright

Smile politely in-kind
Raise an eyebrow
It slipped from your mind
These fears
You don't have to keep
So, put them all now
Safely to sleep
Fill in what's hidden
Between the lines
Or raise a glass
To our steady decline

Seems half the world found out
Before you had the slightest clue
And roaming streets in the pouring rain
For a sign
That'll get you through

Be easy if our hearts
Didn't break like glass
If our hearts
Didn't break like glass
If our hearts
Didn't break like glass
I believe you'll see
You can be
We can be
We can be alright

Alright!
