Dear Lana... Come Save Me
Playgrounds and Swing sets
We were holding hands and laughing
No regrets, no time to think
About the consequences
Young and naive,
Young and brave.
Grew up to fighting and liars
No one to show us what real love was
So maybe we took a wrong turn
Young and reckless,
Young and brave,
The monsters came
and took my world away
Breathe in, i'm breathing out
Trying to calm my heartbeat
But it’s pounding loud
No more butterflies
Just another goodbye
Bleeding tears while I try not to cry
Your eyes like starlight, I’m hypnotized
But you wore your hurt, i’m so surprised
we lasted this long
You kept me level
I kept you sane
Still the monsters came
and took my heart away
Breathe in, i'm breathing out
Trying to calm my heartbeat
But it’s pounding loud
No more butterflies
Just another goodbye
Bleeding tears while
All my shelter went away
All this anger all this pain
And for what?
Shattered glass and f***ed up pasts
The time it took to realize
Life isn’t young and reckless
There’s no room to be naive
And running into the fire
Is just stupidity
Breathe in i’m breathing out
Trying to calm my heartbeat
But its pounding loud
No more butterflies
Just another goodbye
Bleeding tears
But I will not cry
