Idle On End

Folder: 
2005 - 2006

The origin of these feelings run so deep

Impossible to say just where the bulls-eye begins

Seems easier now just to say it was completely missed



Sometimes intention is an arrow gone askew

A moment of silence, please, now that love’s shot clean through

Can you give me that, before my head’s carried to the grave as well



I spin the ring you gave me

Cause I know we meant nothing

Stood for a word we never felt

The metal tourniquet never held

Meaning, shall too fall down

Silent like the ring idle on end



Remember when you etched a cross on my arm

Never seen, yet what your fingers did never leaves

And now that it’s over its memory hangs to me so tightly



When it’s wrong, it’s wrong

There’s no one to blame for that

The heart’s for hanging on

The head’s for regret

When it’s wrong, it’s wrong

That just how it is



I spin the ring you gave me

Cause I know we meant nothing

Stood for a word we never felt

The metal tourniquet never held

Meaning, shall too fall down

Silent like the ring idle on end



I spin the ring you gave me

Cause I know we meant nothing

Stood for a word we never felt

The metal tourniquet never held

Meaning, shall too fall down

Silent like the ring idle on end



When it’s wrong, it’s wrong

No matter how deep the feelings run

When it's wrong, it's wrong

And though this is what we've come to be

To me, you still mean everything

And the silence breaks with the ring flat on the table
