Sad tears and twisted heart Turn on the news and fall apart Families broken and so much death This is not what I expect And what happened to the fairytale ending Was that a lie or were we all pretending Anxious highs and tense encounters You watch your back at every counter Open hearts so vulnerable And yet there's always a possible toll Communication seems so far We don't take the time and are too far apart And what happened to the fairytale ending Was that a lie or were we all pretending Anxious highs and tense encounters You watch your back at every counter I'll still try and believe there's time Even though we can't rewind The destruction is done and here we are We don't have to be that far apart And what happened to the fairytale ending Was that a lie or were we all pretending Anxious highs and tense encounters You watch your back at every counter

With Anxious Hearts
Sad tears and twisted heart Turn on the news and fall apart Families broken and so much death This is not what I expect And what happened to the fairytale ending Was that a lie or were we all pretending Anxious highs and tense encounters You watch your back at every counter Open hearts so vulnerable And yet there's always a possible toll Communication seems so far We don't take the time and are too far apart And what happened to the fairytale ending Was that a lie or were we all pretending Anxious highs and tense encounters You watch your back at every counter I'll still try and believe there's time Even though we can't rewind The destruction is done and here we are We don't have to be that far apart And what happened to the fairytale ending Was that a lie or were we all pretending Anxious highs and tense encounters You watch your back at every counter
