Landmine

There never was a world I couldn't sing into place until now

There never was a love that I could not replace until now

Winter was hard, we came out with our hearts frozen through

Now we're holding our breath, and I'm trying to hold on to you

What was it that you wanted that I didn't understand

The Boomerang of expectation's back to bite the hand

I give my love to you

And you, you walk away too soon

A landmine doesn't take much to trigger the blast

You could feel along my faults and defenses at last

Someday you'll dismantle the colored wires

Yellow, green or red, is it love or desire

You can face me now or you can shrug and act surprised

Either way someday you'll see yourself reflected in my eyes

I give my love to you

And you, so brave, sing "heroes" when you're all alone

You balk at what you should have known,

You've got nothing to lose, but me

You lose me, love me, choose me

There never was a world I couldn't sing into place until now

There never was a love that I could not replace until now

But I, I give my love to you

And you, you walk away too soon

I, I give my love to you

And you, so brave,

Sing "Heroes" when you're all alone,

You balk at what you should've known

You've got nothing to lose, but me

You lose me, love me, choose me
