This Jagged Alibi Songtext
von The Escape Engine

This is the thorn in your side
The knife in your back
The answer to everything
We thought we′d never know

We ask questions with our hearts crossed in our minds
Anticipated in this jagged alibi
And I have no say in this cold night sky

Anticipate it in this jagged alibi
And you can shut me out
But this is all I ask of you in return
Kept alive you drag me by
Set me free so I can die awake in your world

And I could be the mirror image shadowed up against the wall tonight
It's getting cold while we sit in the background
And see our lives just scribbled all across these pages
Lists for you


Shut me out
You can save the best for
I can save the best for
We would save the best
Come here

And if this is just your average number
I am all but warned and insecure
This is the thorn in your side, the thorn in your side

And you can shut me out
But this is all I ask, this is all I ask
This is all

You can shut me out
But this is all I ask of you in return
Can you taste defeat in these words?
Can you taste defeat in these words?

Why are you closing my heart? (This song is breaking my heart)
Why are you closing my heart? (This song breaks your heart)
You pierce the summer with the winter′s hatred all year
Because it's a heartbeat
And it's all I have
