Lyrics for Dismantle. Repair.

One last glance from a taxicab Images scar my mind Four weeks felt like years Since your full attention was all mine The night was young and so were we Talked about life, God, death and your family Didn't want any promises Just my undivided honesty And you say, oh, whoa Things are gonna change now, for the better And oh, whoa, things are gonna change Oh, they're gonna change I am the Patron Saint of Lost Causes A fraction of who I once believed Change, only a matter of time Opinions, I will try and rewrite If life had background music Playing your song I've got to be honest, I tried to escape you But the orchestra plays on And they sing, oh, whoa Things are gonna change now, for the better And oh, whoa, things are gonna change Hands, like secrets Are the hardest thing to keep from you Lines and phrases, like knives Your words can cut me through Dismantle me down Repair You dismantled me You dismantled me Hands, like secrets Are the hardest thing to keep from you Lines and phrases, like knives Your words can cut me through Dismantle me down Repair You dismantled me You dismantled me Give me time to prove Prove I want the rest of yours Prelude Call this a prelude to a lifetime of you It's not that I hang on every word I hang myself on what you repeat It's not that I keep hanging on I'm never letting go (letting go) Hands, like secrets Are the hardest thing to keep from you Lines and phrases, like knives Your words can cut me through Dismantle me down Repair You dismantled me You dismantled me Hands, like secrets Are the hardest thing to keep from you Lines and phrases, like knives Your words can cut me through Dismantle me down Repair You dismantled me You dismantled me Ooh, ooh Save me from myself (ooh, ooh) Save me from myself (ooh, ooh) Help me, save me from myself (ooh, ooh) Save me from myself (ooh, ooh) Oh, whoa, things are gonna change now, for the better And oh, whoa Things are gonna change Hands, like secrets Are the hardest thing to keep from you Lines and phrases, like knives Your words can cut me through Dismantle me down Repair You dismantled me You dismantled me Hands, like secrets Are the hardest thing to keep from you Lines and phrases, like knives Your words can cut me through Dismantle me down Repair You dismantled me You dismantled me Hands, like secrets Are the hardest thing to keep from you Lines and phrases, like knives Your words can cut me through Dismantle me down Repair You dismantled me You dismantled me Hands, like secrets Are the hardest thing to keep from you Lines and phrases, like knives Your words can cut me through Dismantle me down Repair You dismantled me You dismantled me
