Nina Nesbitt - Statues lyrics

rate me

You're just a statue of the boy I used to know

You're just a tattoo of the words that we once spoke

You're the dry river where the love used to flow

But it stills runs through me, with you it had to go

But if you take this back I'll be waiting to

Come alive, come alive

If you turn your back I'll be waiting to fly

But you're like the falling leaves, whilst I'm still the oak tree

‘Cause you're the one to leave

Now I'm falling asleep

You’re like the broken keys, whilst I'm just a broken home

‘Cause as I breathe in deep

You’re looking at me like a statue of the boy I used to know

You're just a lighter with no fuel to light the flames

You know I'll fight for this but you wouldn't do the same

‘Cause you're just a diary with a blank and empty page

But the story we wrote I can't quite erase

But if you take this back I'll be waiting to

Come alive, come alive

But if you turn your back I'll be waiting to fly

But you're like the falling leaves, whilst I'm still the oak tree

‘Cause you're the one that leaves

Now I'm falling asleep

You’re like the broken keys, whilst I'm just a broken home

‘Cause as I breathe in deep

You’re looking at me like a statue of the boy I used to know

Oh, won't you fall to the ground

‘Cause there's just stone in your eyes now

We had it all till we were found

We’re just living these lies now

‘Cause you're like the falling leaves, whilst I'm still the oak tree

‘Cause you're the one to leave

Now I'm falling asleep

‘Cause you're like the broken keys, whilst I'm just a broken home

And I breathe in deep as I watch you leave

You’re the statue of the boy I used to know
