love in the remains

it must hurt your mouth to lie like that

knowing deep down you disagree. we both tell ourselves that the love is gone

truth is it will never leave. i wish i had the words to make things right

but they all get caught; my throat get tight. everything i do all seems to go so wrong. this house of love has come tumbling down

it could not withstand the strain. but somewhere deep down between the rubble and ground

there's love in the remains. i can't tell you how this hurts me so

see

without you i'm half of me. so with the same mouth i've used to put you down

i offer up this apology. i wish i had the words to make things right

but they all get caught; my throat get tight. everything i do all seems to go so wrong. this house of love has come tumbling down

it could not withstand the strain. but somewhere deep down between the rubble and ground

there's love in the remains. i wish it came down to just desire

i wish it came down to just my will. it's true it takes one to tear down

but it takes two to rebuild.
