lyrics

I sit and watch as everyone ties their hearts to strings
And hands their love to who they wish they could have
I listen to people call my name
But when I answer they can't hear my pain

I've become a fake name for love
A petty excuse for a feeling too important to let alone
And I watch above
As I become a false sense of confidence

I watch as he stands
Handing his heart on his string and she takes it
And his heart is in her hands
And she lets it go
Because two hearts is too much to hold
Two hearts is too much

'Cause nothing is better than something
'Cause nothing is better than
'Cause nothing is better than something

After the day ends
All the hearts float away over everything
And over me
They are looking up for their's or someone's heart and I see them all
But they see nothing

Just the sky and what could have been
Just the sky and what could have been
Just the sky and what could have been

Why was I chosen to be the cause and the effect
Of this hate
This love
This hate
This love
