Cracks
Killstation Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My dear, tell me your lies
My dear, tell me your

My dear, tell me your lies
Tell me your secrets like
They haunt your nights
Wake up in tears and chase out the lights
From the sun in the window
The darkness feels right
But you're scared, you're still alive
My eyes on your eyes
Run your hands through the cracks in my life
Don't let go
Only for your time, and trust in my word
I'll show you what it's worth
I'll pick my heart out the dirt

Burning the memories deep in my mind
Burn down the structures that keep me alive
Tell me the reason you wasting my time
Tear down the walls that I'm buried behind
I never meant to be so fucking distant
When you not right next to me
Something is missing and all that I know is
This is not my decision
And that's why I wrote this
I know that you'll listen

I know that you don't understand
You know that I won't hold your hand
I know that you don't need a man
I tried but we don't stand a chance

Bill why don't you tell her now
This minute?! Yes, tell me, darling
Don't you think this is a rather odd
Place to discuss a personal matter?




You don't have to shout it out
Just say it soft and distinctly
