lyrics

Makeup stains on the carpet
Opened her eyes to an empty bottle in her hand
Shields her eyes from the bright lights
Hears a voice in the corner calling her name
Oh what to say

It all came to her in a rush now
Whole world broken, shattered like ice on the floor
Who said I can't do this anymore
She kept on shouting as the tears fall
Flying accusations, the walls they shake at the sound
Who said 'love, quiet down'

You said you promised that you'd never leave me broken
Stood their crying with a half empty bottle in her hand
She said, 'I'm drowning out my sorrows at the bottom of this bottle
But I'll scream till the sun goes down
So no love, I won't quiet down'

She threw both her hands up
Exasperated she shouts, 'I don't know what to say'
She said, 'We better say something
Cause if we don't we'll fall apart all the same
And then who's to blame'

You said you promised that you'd never leave me broken
But those were simply words and I don't think they mean a thing
I know we're screaming and we're crying and it feels like we're dying
But I know we'll make it out okay
So please love, don't quiet down

I know we're screaming and we're crying and it feels like we're dying
But I know we'll make it out okay
So please love, never quiet down
Promise me love, never quiet down
Promise me love, never quiet down
