Lyrics
Razor's edge and little deaths
Are bleeding into one
In the dark we found our spark
Our shadows become one
Chorus
Break my heart
Or take my love
Break my heart
Or take my love
Comets tails all stars aligned
The future has begun
Together walking backwards
As we stare into the sun
Chorus
Bridge
If you're going to break my heart
Then go on and do your stuff
But if you're in for real then
Go on and take my love
Sticks and stones and broken bones
Are all likely outcomes
Baby's breath and dragon's tails
The circle's come undone
