Shatter me with your pain and smile
It's so clear you're not here anymore
Your caresses are machines
That are painful to feel
I can't tell when we started to fall

Everything hurts
Every move, every word
And the airplanes in my head
Are lost and confused
Oh, empty and bruised
As we come to the end
As we come to the end of it all

Give me back my heart
It's breaking more every day
Give me back my heart
It's taking my life away
The minute you walk out the door
Is the minute I pick myself up off the floor

You're never there
When I'm gasping for air
And the airplanes all explode
Kisses of duty
Are lost in their beauty
Walking down your glittering road

You're giving me nothing
You've taken my all
Now I'm here in an empty shell
Airplanes in my head
Drown the words that we've said
And if you stay you'll just put me
You'll just put me through hell

Give me back my heart
It's breaking more every day
Give me back my heart
You're taking my life away
The minute you walk out the door
Is the minute I pick myself up off the floor
Is the minute

You're giving me nothing
You've taken my all
Now I'm here in an empty shell
Airplanes in my head
Drown the words that we've said
And if you stay you'll just put me
You'll just put me through hell

Give me back my heart
It's breaking more every day
Give me back my heart
It's taking my life away
The minute you walk out the door
Is the minute I pick myself up off the floor
I will get myself
Get myself up off the floor
I'll pick myself up
