halo eyes (the rough draft)

VERSE ONE
Halo eyes should harbor shadows 
With skin torn from all the battles
He should carve and cut in castles 
Into my testaments of bad loves

PRE-CHORUS
Lips are architects of cities 
Build and burn the bridges with me
Trade love for a little less peace
I should taste you when my tongue bleeds

CHORUS 
I am not a dream, and I don’t want one
Fix me with the other half of your broken heart 
I don’t want your perfect or your wounds gone 
I want all of your bruises and all of your scars

VERSE TWO
Halo eyes that harbor shadows 
Feel like flying over meadows 
Embers burning out of control 
Let light into such a dark soul 

PRE CHORUS 
Lips are architects of cities 
Build and burn the bridges with me
Trade love for a little less peace
I should taste you when my tongue bleeds

CHORUS 
I am not a dream, and I don’t want one
Fix me with the other half of your broken heart 
I don’t want your perfect or your wounds gone 
I want all of your bruises and all of your scars

halo eyes should harbor shadows

VERSE ONE
You want to be there for me
But I can never find you
Said I could reach out when I need you but I know it’s not true 
It’s not your fault you’re stuck like this, but I am slowly losing it
And so I asked but I knew, I’d go to prom without you 

VERSE TWO
And the first slow song they played, was ours but there is no way 
To change stars that have been set
You’ll have to break your promise
And yes I asked but I knew, I’d go to prom without you

CHORUS
I can’t let myself love you
The way I really wanted to 
I can’t let myself feel this 
Because I’d never stop missing 
You 
You 

VERSE THREE
Said I would wait forever
And yes I really meant it
But gosh it constantly hurts
It’s like it’s never ending 
When I have to stand far away 
And pretend I can’t see your face 
It makes my fragile heart break
Is all this just a mistake? 

CHORUS
I can’t let myself love you
The way I really wanted to 
I can’t let myself feel this 
Because I’d never stop missing 
You 
You 

BRIDGE 
You exist in separate circles 
And I just wish I could fill the plot holes
And you resit, but can’t change your rules
So I’ll just wait here while I miss you

it's not your fault you're stuck like this, but I am slowly losing it
and so I asked but I knew
I'd go to prom without you

i went to prom without you

One of us is out of place
VERSE ONE
One of us is out of place
I try and I try to see your face
You're not anywhere around, 
And I am falling, falling down

VERSE TWO
You're supposed to come and get me 
Break into my house, and carry me back home 
Where ever you are, that is home, home 

VERSE THREE
One of us isn't meant to be there, 
I can't find you and I'm so scared
One of us isn't meant to be here
Come and find me

CHORUS 
I'm going crazy, I miss you baby 
Just wanna see you with my own eyes
I'm going crazy, I miss you baby
You've got to be more than a person I made up in my mind
I'm going crazy, I miss you baby 
You've got to be more than a person I made up in my mind 

VERSE FOUR
Come and carry us away 
We'll be safe for always
