Landmine

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

Was it that you wanted that I didn't understand
Boomerang of expectations back to bite the hand

And I give my love to you
And you, you walk away too soon

A land mine doesn't take much to trigger the blast
Feel all 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

And I give my love to you
And you, so brave
You sing 'Heroes' when you're all alone
You balk at what you should have known it
You've got nothing to lose, but me
You lose me, love me, choose me

Never was a world I couldn't sing into place until now
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
And I, I give my love to you
And you, so brave
You sing 'Heroes' when you're all alone
You balk at what you should've known it
You've got nothing to lose, but me
You lose me, love me, choose me
