Brutal boy leaves you battered and bruised
these days things just don't work quite like they used to
but know that i'm still breathing and seeking for you
cities burn for girls like you, love
but don't fear, cause I'm the big guns that hope comes from
and i've been making the bed for him to lie in

Just take my hand and forget what he said
For his heart is small and I unbind you from it

I really need you now to see
That you my dear are no longer just a sheep
Let's leave these liars on their knees
where they can live alone where nothing is ever quite what it seems

Drown in the story like it's already mourning
No longer draining and dry you don't have to cover your eyes
And then we'll stand side by side and prove to the world we're alive
Now is the time to flee the scene with me
I'll turn you inside out to extract the shame you're feeling now
Just another hit & run, but this time the joke's on him

Just take my hand and forget what he said
For his heart is small and I unbind you from it

I really need you now to see
That you my dear are no longer just a sheep
Let's leave these liars on their knees
where they can live alone where nothing is quite what it seems

You're a city too bright to be held that tight
You're a city too bright to be held that tight
You're a city too bright to be held that tight
You're a city too bright, a city too bright

I really need you now to see
That you my dear are no longer just a sheep
Let's leave these liars on their knees
where they can live alone

I really need you now to see
That you my dear are no longer just a sheep
Let's leave these liars on their knees
where they can live alone where nothing is quite what it seems

Cause you my dear You're a city too bright to be held that tight
Cause you my dear You're a city too bright to be held that tight
You are a city that's too bright, too bright to be held that tight
