Lyrics

We're all giving up our lives for a rare breed of friend
Hold the ones you love close
Keep your jealousy closer still
Keep your mind, keep your heart, keep your will
But please let me in
Let me inside
I want to feel alive
It's got to be a flame
If you want to feel the burn
It's time to get lost outside
And never go back home
I need to believe
The heart on my sleeve
Used to be bleeding
But now all the blood's run dry
If you'll only be
The completion of me
I'll agree to try
We're all giving up our lives for a rare breed of friend
Hold the ones you love close
Keep your enemies closer still
Keep your mind, keep your heart, keep your will
But please let me in
Let me inside I need
I need to feel alive
It's got to be a flame
If you want to feel the burn
It's time to get lost outside
And never go back home
I need to believe
The heart on my sleeve
Used to be bleeding
But now all the blood's run dry
If you'll only be
The completion of me
I'll agree to try
I can't offer you anything
More than myself
And I'm not even sure
I can offer you that
I'm the closest a man can get
To a disaster
If you'd only be
The completion of me
I'd be the closest I can be
To alive
To hold the affections of such as you
Is beyond my reach
Your parents' broken porcelain
Resounding heavily on your ears
Don't be a victim of them
The walls that damaged people build
To hold the world at bay
This is who we are and how we'll stay
