lyrics
You were the only one who knew me
The way I thought it should be
But one day you took my little hand
And plummeted us both in to dry land
How did we let ourselves slip away
I know it to be oh my big mistake
Sometimes all it takes if for someone else
to run from you to make you find yourself
Do you even know this I can’t tell?
Now all I need is time just on my own
To get used to this body and it’s knew home
Just thought I would say ‘thanks’ as I go on my way
Please tell me to stay
Do you even want that anyway?
Do you have anything to say?
Do you even want that anyway?
I froze up like a cube of ice
But even though you were so untrue
Somehow you could melt me like you do
Darn it darn it darn it you…
You were the only one who knew me
The way I thought it should be
But one day you took my little hand
And plummeted us both in to dry land
The way I thought it should be
But one day you took my little hand
And plummeted us both in to dry land
How did we let ourselves slip away
I know it to be oh my big mistake
Sometimes all it takes if for someone else
to run from you to make you find yourself
Do you even know this I can’t tell?
Now all I need is time just on my own
To get used to this body and it’s knew home
Just thought I would say ‘thanks’ as I go on my way
Please tell me to stay
Do you even want that anyway?
Do you have anything to say?
Do you even want that anyway?
I froze up like a cube of ice
But even though you were so untrue
Somehow you could melt me like you do
Darn it darn it darn it you…
You were the only one who knew me
The way I thought it should be
But one day you took my little hand
And plummeted us both in to dry land

The Bullet Within
by Birdeatsbabysupported by 4 fans who also own “Dry Land”
An oddball gem I stumbled on by accident. While I might have been tempted away, the music hooked me in so aggressively as to count as kidnapping. It's musically rather pretty with a bit of a broadway touch, but the emotions expressed are intensely dark.
