[Intro]
I know that you're broken
I see you hiding out in the open
There's no peace where you sleep
There's no peace where you sleep
No safety in those sheets
[Verse 1]
You can't run from the rage that fills you inside
You can't bury the hatred that strangles your life
You've lost what you've lost, but your love is a curse
To fake it not feel it would make it all but the worse
And I have lived this just like you
When you have light to give
You may need to burn to live
[Chorus]
Release her hand to leave you a cold lost man
Because I know you don't want to see her hurt
You don't know love, I've felt the difference
How can you sing with broken lungs?
You're no heathen
No heathen
[Verse 2]
Stop and listen
To the sound of the breeze on the trees
Place your feet in the soil
Bones buried beneath the leaves
You used to find peace here
And get lost in these sounds
No one hears them sing now
[Chorus]
Release her hand to leave you a cold lost man
Because I know you don't want to see her hurt
You don't know love, I've felt the difference
How can you sing with broken lungs?
[Bridge]
You're safe here, you're safe here
You're safe in the arms of your mother
You're safe here, you're safe here
You're safe in the arms of your mother
You're safe here
You're safe here
You're safe here
Release her hand to leave you a cold lost man
[Chorus]
Release her hand to leave you a cold lost man
Because I know you don't want to see her hurt
You don't know love, I've felt the difference
How can you sing with broken lungs?
You're no heathen
No heathen
Stop and listen
