irish blood

I'd steal your jacket from the back of your chair
Wear your heart though it messed up my hair
I'd go out of my way to find you in the hallway
Like a child would
You were fire and I was ice
The warmth you gave cut through me like a knife
An innocent adventure, you wanted something more
But I was stuck in my childhood

There's no room for broken hearts
No bandages to cover up the scars
They say it takes one breath to break a house of cards
Our peers applauded a perfect match
But it caught fire sending it all back
To build back up the pieces

It's 4am in the pouring rain
You've been drinking it back just to numb the pain
Oblivious that I could see your beautiful tragedy
In your Irish bloodshot eyes

There's no room for broken hearts
No bandages to cover up the scars
They say it takes one breath to break a house of cards
Our peers applauded a perfect match
But it caught fire sending it all back
To build back up the pieces

There's no room for broken hearts
No bandages to cover up the scars
They say it takes one breath to break a house of cards
Our peers applauded a perfect match
But it caught fire sending it all back
To build back up the pieces

I'd steal your jacket from the back of your chair
Come running to you as you broke down in tears
I wanted to be strong, but I read it all so wrong
Like a child would

There's no room for broken hearts
No bandages to cover up the scars
They say it takes one breath to break a house of cards
Our peers applauded to the loudest silence
As you left town, leaving me behind
To pick back up the pieces

There's no room for broken hearts
No bandages to cover up the scars
They say it takes one breath to break a house of cards
Our peers applauded a perfect match
But it caught fire sending it all back
To build back up the pieces
