lyrics

We went out on a friendly stroll
And dug ourselves the deepest of holes
I dug so deep I thought you never could leave
At least that's what I tried to believe
That is what I tried to believe

"Love is an act of faith" we said
And I can't get that saying out of my head
We leaped into the dark unknown
And I hit the ground and broke all of my bones
I hit the ground, broke all of my bones

You said that I felt safe, like a home
And I was the flower that sprung from a stone
Our lives were messy though our hearts were sweet
And we left our work of love incomplete
Our work of love is still incomplete

Each day you made my soul want to sing
And I thought our love could withstand anything
But it could not endure your restless heart
Now the tower we built has fallen apart
The tower we built has fallen apart

We burned so bright but too soon we were done
Like a morning dew dissolves in the sun
Our story's full of wasted dreams
Am I a fool because I still believe?
Yes I am a fool and I still believe

We were underwater all of our days
We swam for the light to breathe, and break away
But you kicked off, left me nowhere to go
Now I can' t get the water out of my bones
No I can't get the water out of my bones
