To Withstand The Force Of Storms

Your lips linger on my skin
Kiss me one last time

You're like a whisper in the winter
Sleeping in the city's skin
Remember me

Fairmount

Where were you underneath the lies
Nobody is getting honesty
Show us the turth
We'll tell ourselves we could save this
But now I've acted strong
You're leaving again

I feel nothing
Just keep walking away
Every second never feel alone
For every outside door you left me

Lay your scars out in rows
Show me what I've done to you

I couldn't save us
We were one
And what now?
We move as one

Then you hold me tight
And say that it’s okay
So I cry for my lack of innocence
And the things I couldn’t give away

When I can’t sleep through the night
