lyrics

i wasn't aware you were drowning
i thought those screams were my own
and these nightmares i keep having
are fueled by things i'll never know

but i'm not sure what engines you seek
when you're alone, do you think of me?
and i'm not sure what sounds to make
when i'm alone, i'm always afraid

for such a pretty girl, you're always so angry
by something i did or something i might have said
now the knife i've driven between our shoulder blades
is dangerously close to cutting off our air supply

now i'm not sure what answers you seek
when you're alone, do you ever miss me?
and i'm not sure what sounds to make
when i'm alone, i'm always afraid
now i'm not sure what heartbreak you see
when you're alone, do you cry yourself to sleep?
and i'm not sure what sounds to make
what is the sound of a heart beginning to break…?
