This is How We Left It by Echolyn Lyrics
I would wait for you if you were and I was
Would you wait for me if I wasn't and you were?
I knew to hesitate would only make it worse
But my tongue was tied to the rope around my neck
By the look she gave she was more than hurt
She would wait for you if you were more around
Not like a paper-cut but more like a bear
You never tried, you never reached out to her
The devastation was a sight to behold
And now you stand across and ocean
I couldn't look away till the brilliance was complete
It's all blown up and way out
Nothing could be farther from
More about what's been twisted
This is how we left it
I would wait for you if you were and I was I wouldn't hesitate
By the look she gave it wasn't meant to hurt it meant to devastate
In the end it's who we are
In the end it's what we are
Holding onto stones for the morning after
The words we meant to cripple should never have been thought
Could we hold our breath long enough to forget
All the things we've said, the bones the bricks we've bled?
Someday, maybe then
Would you wait for me if I wasn't and you were?
I knew to hesitate would only make it worse
But my tongue was tied to the rope around my neck
By the look she gave she was more than hurt
She would wait for you if you were more around
Not like a paper-cut but more like a bear
You never tried, you never reached out to her
The devastation was a sight to behold
And now you stand across and ocean
I couldn't look away till the brilliance was complete
It's all blown up and way out
Nothing could be farther from
More about what's been twisted
This is how we left it
I would wait for you if you were and I was I wouldn't hesitate
By the look she gave it wasn't meant to hurt it meant to devastate
In the end it's who we are
In the end it's what we are
Holding onto stones for the morning after
The words we meant to cripple should never have been thought
Could we hold our breath long enough to forget
All the things we've said, the bones the bricks we've bled?
Someday, maybe then
