Description
Relationships that are more like a battlefield after rain - slippery, muddy, and at any moment you can slip on your own feelings. There is no place for heart-to-heart talks here: words have become weapons, and silence now sounds louder than anything else.
Every day is an attempt to survive under the rubble of love, where tenderness has turned into a reflex to ‘take the blow’. The heart is tired of being a target, but it still beats in time with the pain. Coldness, resentment, confusion - and somewhere deep down, beneath all this cracking armour, a subtle hint of liberation. When you can finally say: enough.
Lyrics and translation
Original
I'm not afraid to walk away, there's a reason you're to blame
You're lucky I can keep my mouth shut
One slip and you crack, I've been walking on glass
Each day is getting worse, I can't keep up
All alone, I hope you feel it
Counting spots all on your ceiling
Up all night, you saw the sunrise
Walking 'round with bags on your eyes
Split, I can't ever tell why you're mad
Dead eyes when it's getting bad
I've been under attack
I don't wanna fight back
Split, I can't ever tell why you're mad
Dead eyes when it's getting bad
Split, I've been under attack
I don't want this to last
Brace myself for the crash, good times never last
I don't know which side of you that I'll get
So you'll drink away your pain, but for me, it hurt the same
You've poisoned all the love I have for you
All alone, I hope you feel it
Counting spots all on your ceiling
All my clothes sit in your closet
Broke your heart, but you're who caused it
Split, I can't ever tell why you're mad
Dead eyes when it's getting bad
I've been under attack (attack)
I don't wanna fight back
Split, I can't ever tell why you're mad (you're mad)
Dead eyes when it's getting bad (bad)
Split, I've been under attack (under attack)
I don't want this to last
You caused it all
It's not my fault
I won't take the blame
You cursed my name
