Come Undone
My Darkest Days Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Made of breath and skin
I've been waiting for you
Signed with a home tattoo
Happy birthday to you
Was created for you
I can't help but keep from falling apart
I cannot believe they're taking my heart
Into pieces
Oh it might take a little time
Might take a little crime
To come undone now
We'll try to stay blind
To the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind, can blow me into cry
Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone
Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone
Words
Play me deja vu
Like a radio tune
I swear I've heard before
She'll resist something real
Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers
I can't help but keep from falling apart
At the seams
I cannot believe they're taking my heart
Into pieces
Lost
In a self filled sky
Might make it alright
To come undone now
We'll try to stay blind
To the hope and fear outside
Hey child, stay wilder than the wind, can blow me into cry
Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone
Who do you need?
Who do you love?
When you come undone
I can't help but keep from falling apart
At the seams (who do you need?)
I cannot believe they're taking my heart
Into pieces (who do you love?)
I can't help but keep from falling apart
At the seams (who do you love?)
I cannot believe they're taking my heart
When you come undone
