Rules

[00:12.94] The rules you set when we're apart,
[00:17.48] They're broken from the start,
[00:20.67] But your regimented heart
[00:23.68] Can't understand this.
[00:27.78]
[00:31.43] You blame me,
[00:33.23] You read between the lines.
[00:36.38] You misread all the signs,
[00:39.66] Investigate the crimes,
[00:42.62] I detect the problem's you.
[00:46.69]
[00:54.57] I'm a broken window,
[00:56.12] I'm an open door,
[01:00.76] I give a little less,
[01:02.30] You take a little more.
[01:07.07] We can't have it all...
[01:09.54] On a burning page,
[01:12.76] As your heart puts up the barricades,
[01:15.97] As it all begins to fade,
[01:18.31] I'll still love you.
[01:22.29] On a wounded stage,
[01:25.23] In the performance of a serenade,
[01:28.52] Even in this mess we've made,
[01:30.87] I'll still love you...
[01:34.22] But there's no use,
[01:36.63] Whichever way I'll lose,
[01:40.34] If you set the rules!
[01:43.63]
[01:53.73] We fight,
[01:55.39] Your punches hit me hard,
[01:58.39] But it's your words that leave the scars,
[02:01.59] And as the sky bleeds stars,
[02:05.06] You tell me that we're through.
[02:09.56] But I can't lose you.
[02:14.05]
[02:16.63] I'm a broken window,
[02:18.34] I'm an open door,
[02:22.84] I give a little less,
[02:24.43] You take a little more,
[02:29.27] We had it all...
[02:31.68] On a burning page,
[02:34.80] As your heart puts up the barricades,
[02:38.04] As it all begins to fade,
[02:40.40] I'll still love you.
[02:44.37] On a wounded stage,
[02:47.36] In the performance of a serenade,
[02:50.77] Even in this mess we've made,
[02:52.97] I'll still love you...
[02:56.33] But there's no use,
[02:58.60] Whichever way I'll lose,
[03:02.43] If you set the rules!
[03:06.71]
[03:09.90] Oh, we're holding on,
[03:14.32] We're holding on
[03:17.43] You got me wrong,
[03:21.04] Oh so wrong.
[03:23.84] We're holding on,
[03:26.91] We're holding on
[03:30.16] You got me wrong,
[03:33.68] Oh so wrong.
[03:37.36]
[03:53.76] On a burning page,
[03:56.99] As your heart puts up the barricades,
[04:00.17] As it all begins to fade,
[04:02.55] I'll still love you.
[04:06.48] On a wounded stage,
[04:09.44] In the performance of a serenade,
[04:12.72] Even in this mess we've made,
[04:15.02] I'll still love you...
[04:18.48] But there's no use,
[04:20.77] Whichever way I'll lose,
[04:24.54] If you set the rules!
