White Flag Lyrics

Mask of glitter and gold

And all of the fabulous things I'm off to do 

It's crass

And it's gotten old

But never a day have you walked in my shoes 

It's done

And it has become

Something that brings me to my knees in pain

It's done

And I have become

An echo of every word I ever sang

Cut the cord and jump overboard 

Cut the cord and jump over

Mistakes

Fall to heartbreak

But my life has taught me to crush what I've made 

You'll break

How long will it take

And I cant stop pretending I'll drag this lake 

It's love

A push and a shove

But all that I wanted was your softer side

My love

Well I was haunted

But all that you wanted was a steady tide

Cut the cord and jump overboard 

Cut the cord and jump over

Throw me a line

Don't let me go

I keep on reaching out for you

But I never seem to know 

If you'll write back to me

Or leaden my shoes

And leave me drowning at the bottom of the sea 

It's war

You're settling scores

And each time it reopens you slam the door

What for

Were you feeling bored

Or maybe you wanted to tower and lord

I'll cave

When all that you gave

Is slipping away

And I can't hold my grip

I caved

White flag has been waved

You've finally sunken my last battleship

Cut the cord and jump overboard 

Cut the cord and jump over

Throw me a line

Don't let me go

I keep on reaching out for you

But I never seem to know 

If you'll write back to me

Or leaden my shoes

And leave me drowning at the bottom

I'm drowning at the bottom

I'm drowning at the bottom of the sea
