lyrics

Your smile is worth more than the muscles that construct it,
or whatever emotion forced your lips to curve.
Your tears are more destructive than atom bombs and collapsing suns
but not more than the anger that compelled your eyes to burn.
So make sure you maintain a steady pattern of breathing,
and I'll try my hardest to comfort and console you.
A synergy I could not refuse, what melody could I hope to use?
One offering for a lovely muse, a song that aims to please.
Your eyes were flaring like an omen, my mind was yours just for a moment.
I could've sworn I was a hornet, and you my queen bee.
Don't underestimate the mistake of putting yourself in the way
of what a man can do for who he loves over what he needs.
So make sure you maintain a steady pattern of breathing,
and I'll try my hardest to comfort and console you.
Let not our mistakes define our future.
I will show you otherwise, because I know, yes I know what you're going through.
Baby look into my eyes, because I know, yes I know what the future holds for you.
I will show you otherwise, because I know, yes I know what you're going through.
Baby look into my eyes, because I know, I know what the future holds for you.
What the future holds for you.
What the future holds for you.
