sever ties, cut losses - this glass embrace lyrics

[verse 1]
call it jealousy or selfishness, and you’re probably right
but it makes me feel better to know you’re home alone tonight
it seems i’m not the only one who’s finding it hard
to face the day sober
or to face it at all

[verse 2]
you were so foolish, so hopelessly naive
as if there were any way to fix this mess that you’ve made
the moment you closed that door, this house breathed its last
and now this room is a coffin
and there’s no going back

[chorus]
now that song is on the radio
the song we used to sing
“there’s no such thing as chance, baby
this was always meant to be…”
but the thing we never realized
that one awful catch
is that just because something was meant to be
doesn’t mean it was meant to last

[verse 3]
i’d hate to hear what version of this whole sordid tale
you’re relaying to your friends over coffee somewhere
coffee? or is it whiskey in that stained gl-ssware mug?
well whatever helps you sleep at night
(whatever helps you sleep at night)
don’t worry, love

[bridge 1]
your secret’s safe with me
now honestly, tell me
can you say the same?
(whatever helps you sleep at night
whatever helps you sleep at night)
when you turn out the lights
when you close those pretty eyes
(whatever helps you sleep at night
whatever helps you sleep at night)
whose face do you see?
well i hope it’s still me
and i hope you can’t forget
i’m the best you’ll ever have

[bridge 2]
this broken face
these bloodshot eyes
these shaking hands
this drunken smile
these sleepless dreams
these waking cries
it ends tonight
it ends tonight

[interlude: “reprise; reprisals”]

[verse 1: matt lefevers and shannon ryan]
all the mirrors are blinded
and facing the wall
why is it that all i remember
are the days that were perfect?
every time i looked in them
it was your face i saw
the nights that we spent holding hands
to keep warm as we walked
i’ve burned all the pictures
of you except one
it’s the glint of the soft summer sun
reflected in your eyes
some things, when they’re finished
they can’t be undone
it’s your voice and your face and your presence
that haunt my dreams now

[verse 2: matt lefevers, shannon ryan, group shouts]
all the mirrors are blinded
and facing the wall
why is it that all i remember
are the days that were perfect?
every time i looked in them
it was your face i saw
the nights that we spent holding hands
to keep warm as we walked
i’ve burned all the pictures
of you except one
it’s the glint of the soft summer sun
reflected in your eyes
some things, when they’re finished
they can’t be undone
it’s your voice and your face and your presence
that haunt my dreams now this broken face
these bloodshot eyes
these shaking hands
this drunken smile
these sleepless dreams
these waking cries
it ends tonight
it ends tonight

this broken face
these bloodshot eyes
these shaking hands
this drunken smile
these sleepless dreams
these waking cries
it ends tonight
it ends tonight
