Safe
from Dream Arcade – EP by Dream Arcade
lyrics
In another life
When I was immune
To the slings and knives
The cuts and the wounds
We were riding on a high
And the future was intact
Now I’m split from deep inside
And I’ll never get it back
You left me with no choice
I’m trying to stay poised
While you sing in your sad voice
It’s the last noise
That I’ll hear
But now you’re far away
And don’t give me one thought
And though we could still talk
You cut it off
And you left me here to beg
So you could shut it down (just so you know)
Keep me out (you’re right)
Run around (you didn’t)
Just like you didn’t care (I wish you’d)
Stay around (just so I could)
Stay in town (be with you)
If only it were so
But now you’re gone
The lights are off
And people talk
And now it’s wrong
You want it gone, after falling there
You never were safe
Were you ever safe, baby?
But now you’re gone
The lights are off
And people talk
And now it’s wrong
You want it gone, after falling there
You never were safe
But you’re not there
And people stare
And everything has gone to shit
And now you want what you know’s not fair
You never were safe
When I was immune
To the slings and knives
The cuts and the wounds
We were riding on a high
And the future was intact
Now I’m split from deep inside
And I’ll never get it back
You left me with no choice
I’m trying to stay poised
While you sing in your sad voice
It’s the last noise
That I’ll hear
But now you’re far away
And don’t give me one thought
And though we could still talk
You cut it off
And you left me here to beg
So you could shut it down (just so you know)
Keep me out (you’re right)
Run around (you didn’t)
Just like you didn’t care (I wish you’d)
Stay around (just so I could)
Stay in town (be with you)
If only it were so
But now you’re gone
The lights are off
And people talk
And now it’s wrong
You want it gone, after falling there
You never were safe
Were you ever safe, baby?
But now you’re gone
The lights are off
And people talk
And now it’s wrong
You want it gone, after falling there
You never were safe
But you’re not there
And people stare
And everything has gone to shit
And now you want what you know’s not fair
You never were safe
