All we ever see of stars are their old photographs

The redness of his face permits 
The truth his words won't dare admit, 
His sunken eyes are hid behind a darkened lens 

Broken doors and thoughtless words, 
The tyre tracks on her dead lawn 
Feeble threats and loveless debts 
Prove nothing when she still steals your breath 

She stands tall with strength not height 
You see the fists inside her eyes 
Now its time for her revenge 
Delivered acid tongue, god pity/help him 
She sits there in the aftermath 
And listens as cars drive slowly past 

Broken doors and thoughtless words, 
The tyre tracks on her dead lawn 
Feeble threats and loveless debts 
Prove nothing when she still steals your breath 

She sits there in the aftermath 
And listens as cars drive slowly past 
His final show, his lies 
Had done nothing but cured her smile 

Her bruises fade from black to blue 
Over time they slowly heal 
You'll think you've grown found love again 
When you break your own heart 
It'll never mend 

Broken doors and thoughtless words, 
The tyre tracks on her dead lawn 
Feeble threats and loveless debts 
Prove nothing when she still steals your breath 

Broken doors and thoughtless words, 
The tyre tracks on her dead lawn 
Feeble threats and loveless debts 
Prove nothing when she still steals your breath
