Decorated In Flames


This can't be the way
I'm backing down again
This can't be the way
Surrendering to the pain
My heart felt what my eyes saw
And fell apart like it always did

Amongst the surrounding crowds
There's someone who compares
Someone who knows
Someone who cares
But my surrendered heart is raw
Crying like it always did

But I won't crash and burn
I may surrender my soul
But I won't crash and burn
I shall remain whole
And whoever takes the blame
Will be decorated in flames
