Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
My heart is numb
The feeling that I get from
The way you shake your voice
And curse this bitter love
And oh, it's cold
Living in a fallen home
We were just kids back then
Too scared to be alone
You leave me in the dark
Recounting all my sins
You put words in my mouth
But who is gonna mend
These white fences
Oh, it's cold
Living in a fallen home
We were just kids back then
Too scared to be alone
Oh, I said oh, the fight
My legs are unsteadied by
The way you close your eyes
I wish we could hit rewind
You leave me in the dark
Recounting all my sins
You put words in my mouth
But who is gonna mend
These white fences
My heart is numb
The feeling that I get from
The way you shake your voice
And curse this bitter love
And, oh, the fight
My legs are unsteadied by
The way you close your eyes
I wish we could hit rewind
You leave me in the dark
Recounting all my sins
You put words in my mouth
But who is gonna mend
These white fences
