you left the country and the world just moved on
while I fell apart, became withdrawn
a call from your castle said you needed me whole
turns out you don't need me at all
love is colossal, it crashes in waves
swells up and swallows with waxes and wanes
love is the bright red blood in my veins
it won't ever keep you in cages or chains
roses are wild
violets are too
I learned how to breathe
in the city without you
fought, lost
fought, lost again
we should've seen it coming
when we were looking at the storm
tide rose up above us
it swept away our home
and our baby was buried
in the middle of the rain
when I fought
and lost again
destruction's in the water
and water's in my blood
I wanna be the river
I wanna be the flood
roses are wild
violets are too
I learned how to breathe
in the city without you
