sirens
Ric McArdle Lyrics

Desperate times call for reckless minds
When things get tough, sometimes we make poor decisions out of desperation.

I'm intertwined so deep with you
Our relationship is complicated and intense.

Broken hearts reach for broken fights
When people are hurt emotionally, they sometimes lash out in anger and pain.

and spoken crimes against my soul
You have hurt me deeply with the things you have said.

Been lights inside my head
Confusion and conflicting thoughts are clouding my mind.

don't match up to what you said
What you have said to me doesn't make sense or doesn't seem to be true.

The sirens blast so loud
Everything around me is chaotic and overwhelming.

I wish I heard that I'm too proud
I wish I could admit my mistakes and accept help, but my pride is preventing me from doing so.

Shallow eyes make for shallow ties
When we focus on surface-level qualities of a person, our relationships are superficial and lack depth.

and they can't disguise death alone
No matter how hard we try to hide from it, death is inevitable and affects us all.

But on asteroids clear the vision blurred
In moments of clarity, I can see things more clearly and objectively.

by the games I play and by yours
We both play games in this relationship and it is causing problems for us.

Red lights inside my head
There are warning signs in my mind that I am ignoring.

I only wanted to hold you
My intentions were pure, and all I wanted was to be close to you.

feel you
To experience an emotional or physical connection with you.

take you in my arms
To hold onto you and protect you.

I think i told you the real you
I was honest with you about my feelings and what I saw in you.

you're the one I love
I am in love with you and cannot imagine being with anyone else.

I want to leave you to see you
I need space and time away from you to gain clarity on our relationship.

to need you
Despite my desire to be independent, I cannot deny that I need you in my life.

I'm never letting go
No matter what happens, I will always love and be with you.

I want to love you, breathe you
To fully immerse myself in our love and relationship.

I want everyone to know, I think I love you
My feelings for you are so strong that I cannot keep them hidden and want the whole world to know.

Sirens blast so loud
The chaos and confusion of the world around me is deafening.

I wish I'd heard but I'm too proud
My pride is getting in the way of me acknowledging the problems and seeking help.
