Vice Versa

I've got bad intentions just masked by innocence
A repercussion of the heartbreak and lies I've been telling myself since
Hollow out your heart to keep in touche with mine
It's the best way to reach me unscathed

How were we supposed to know all the love letters
That I wrote
Were just eulogies in the making

Signing off and goodnight, darling, thank you for everything
It's not that often I go to sleep with one thing on my mind
There's something to be said about cynics and sinning
The world's so cruel and yet I'm still grinning
Because after all these years my hearts breaking you

The stars are just as numbered as the tears I've made you shed
How can you say our names in the same breath
Without it being laced with regret
I've appraised the value of your words
A penny for your thoughts is more than you are worth

Sweet silences followed by the bitter cold
Keep me in it for the only thing I've ever known
