she would forgive the truth
if you'd left her with a smile, like
you used to do
she would bring the cuffs to you,
just to make you stay a while
as if you wanted to

(chorus)
so lie down, sleep around
hearts bending now will break
your light shattering my calm
a life sentance in your arms
breate in, breate out
a touch that suffocates
sirens wailing in alarm
a life sentence in your arms

is arm reads like a prison cell wall
scratching days down as they pass
not recalling them all
and his thoughts they twist and turn
investing everything in her
and not expecting a return
will that be good enough for her?

(chorus)
