Peering Up Through the Floorboards

from You Are Never Alone by Hearts Fail

/

lyrics

peering up through the floorboards
only to see you smile
that empty smile
for a little while

peeking into your bedroom
just to see you sleep
that restless sleep
i was never deep

what's the matter
i was always there
or would you rather
i didn't care


reflections in your mirror
i'll pull at your tangled hair
when you needed care
i was never there

i cracked open your heart
here in your cold cold room
your frozen tomb
i will see you soon

what's the matter
i was always there
or would you rather
i didn't care


and after everything
you don't need a thing
not from me

they say the best is yet to come
but i can't believe i can't believe i can't believe it's true
it's true
it's true
it's true


drawings on the window
hearts on foggy glass
cross them out so fast
these feelings pass

counting every step
as you creak across the floor
i was such a bore
but i wanted more

what's the matter
i was always there
or would you rather
i didn't care


and after everything
you don't mean a thing
not to me

they say the best is yet to come
but i can't believe i can't believe i can't believe it's true
it's true
it's true
it's true
