The Chandelier

Not just a matter of time
It's not that simple, I can't just turn and walk away
I've seen the spark in your eyes
I can't convince you, the blind cannot lead the blind

I know you've suffered, you know I see your pain
Down on my knees at the shrine
I want to go home, but can't go back the way I came

Can't you hear the screams?
As the chandelier comes crashing to the floor
Tears fall as the one you love
Goes walking out the door
Fears as we're moving on
The long long march to war
Blood red, on a, razor's edge
You're comin' back for more
It's just so comfortable!

I can't keep toeing this line
Storm clouds are rolling
Raining down on our parade
Can't shiver without a spine (Yeah)
Now or forever, there's always time to masquerade

I know it's not fair, I know each day's so cruel
I failed as much as I try
Reach out to catch you
But I'm the one that's falling through

Can't you hear the screams?
As the chandelier comes crashing to the floor
Tears fall as the one you love
Goes walking out the door
Fears as we're moving on
The long long march to war
Blood red, on a, razor's edge
You're comin' back for more
It's just so comfortable!

I tried to turn away, I didn't throw the stones
Don't wanna break your heart, I tried to let you know
Nothing but reruns play, Starring my cameo
Got nothing nice to say, That's why my mouth is closed
Why did you hurt me babe?
Why did you break my heart?
(I've had all that I can take)
(And I take it oh)

Why can't I ever change?
Why can't I ever change?
Why can't I ever change?
I've had all that I can take
And I'm gonna fucking break!

We started out so inspired
(We started out so inspired)
We made believe in the journey's end, The search was done
But now, I'm so god damn tired (Oh)
Each day we make it just proves, we can't keep going on

You know I love you (Ooo)
You know I always will
I'm not so sure we survived
Wake up tomorrow and see if my heart's beating still

Can't you hear the screams?
As the chandelier comes crashing to the floor (Crashing to the floor)
Tears fall as the one you love
Goes walking out the door
Fears as we're moving on (Moving on)
The long long march to war (March to war)
Blood red, on a, razor's edge
You're comin' back for more
It's just so comfortable, and I've had all that I can take
And now I'm gonna fucking break!
