lyrics

i missed all the things i can't explain
but everyone knows i'm not one to complain

for every heartbeat, we ignored their calls
but now they've left us to register this on our own
so much pressure, so little ventilation

wherever this goes, i'm only sure of where it began
i'm scared of knowing where this train will derail

for every heartbeat, we callously laughed them off
but now they've left us to oxygenate our own blood
for every sound wave, we countered with apathy
but now you've left me to venture off on your own
you won't last long in the desert, my love
