Lyrics

Press my heart in a dusty book
With the scraps and photographs
You never took
A sea of faces I barely know
Lay their claims, weigh their pain
And fail you

Who's gonna save you?
Save you from yourself

Ring the bells on a diamond day
Hear the music swell and decay
The hand you hold won't make you whole
Made a promise I swear I'd carry the load
You're breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart

When they said you had the gift
You could give twice as good as you'd get
Burn every bridge
You can't run away or try to make amends

Who's gonna save you?
Save you from yourself

Ring the bells on a diamond day
Hear the music swell and decay
The hand you hold won't make you whole
Made a promise I swear I'd carry the load
You're breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart

And when the fear is a gaping crack
You can never go back
And when your face is a vacant mask
They're all gone
There's no one
To hold on
Hold on

Ring the bells on a diamond day
Hear the music swell and decay
The hand you hold won't make you whole
Made a promise I swear I'd carry the load
You're breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
You're breaking my heart
