lyrics

So hold and wait, I will never reminisce,
For you for me, no distance I would go for this

Sweet heart our song will never sing,
And we'll lose control of everything,
As we'll shatter the crystals of us bit by bit,
Hot blood and glass and grit

So break so bend, these crimson skies they shan’t transcend,
Ravens will burn as the descend,
Her blackened wings aglow

Sweet heart our song will never sing,
And we'll lose control of everything,
As we'll shatter the crystals of us bit by bit,
Hot blood and glass and grit

I never wanted you to know,
To know I can't be there for this,
I never needed you to show,
To show I can't be there for this,

Say you'll take it back,
Say you'll take it back,
Say you'll take it back,
Say you'll take it back,
Away from here,
Away, my dear,

Sweet heart our song will never sing,
And we'll lose control of everything,
And my sweet heart our song will never sing
And we'll run, run, run,
Sweet heart our song will never sing,
And we'll lose control of everything,
And my sweet heart our song will never sing,
And we'll run,
Sweet heart our song will never sing,
And we'll run
