[ti:The Passerby] [ar:Of Virtue] [al:Heartsounds] [by:] [offset:0] [00:09.67]If this picture's worth a thousand words let "love" not be the first nor last [00:15.06]My eyes were upside down the first time you turned your back [00:20.94]I wish you never turned your back around after that [00:24.88]Cover up that word like you cover up your face when you have something to say [00:30.81]Anything to cover up my efforts [00:35.69]Anything to shut me out [00:38.63]Bury those eyes into the bend of your arm [00:41.81]Keep those ribs closed and your heart hidden away from me [00:46.62]I've been wondering what swallowed me into the ocean hidden behind a pretty voice [00:58.07]Whispering promises of warmth [00:58.67] [01:07.42]It's not the salt that makes my eyes water [01:12.67]It's the thought that you never even bothered to give me a reason behind letting go of everything I tried to give [01:21.23]I don't know what hurts more hanging on by a thread or just letting go [01:32.05]We'll never know [01:34.80]It's a constant struggle trying to fill the void that loved one made [01:40.05]And when they're gone it seems no one could ever take their place [01:46.30]You can't just let them go or leave them behind [01:52.17]We once knew love [01:54.36]Until someone you think is gonna be the one to change your life for the best [02:09.73]Throws you out into the streets with an empty frozen hands and feet [02:24.31]Still standing here [02:27.06]Cut off the loss clean the wounds granted nothing will ever feel the same again [02:35.87]It was all worth nothing [02:41.50] [03:04.00]"I'm a loner " he says [03:05.75]"Born this way a loner I shall stay " [03:07.80]Cursed with heartstrings hanging from his hands and neck [03:13.34]"Dance with me " she says [03:15.72]"To the melodies of weeping widows and widowers [03:19.29]'Cause tonight we die alone just like them " [03:30.87]Like a beaten down dog it's hard to show love [03:34.12]So he shows his teeth instead and spits out blood to anyone that shows him love again [03:42.18]But when no one's around he whimpers through the night and walks around with his tail between his legs [03:49.00]And then you hear him speak [03:53.97]"I would have given you the clothes off my back choose a bullet over seeing your blood spill perhaps [04:05.46]But now I'm cold and there's a hole through my chest A public display of my affection "
