And Only Then

The smallest breath that I could ever take,

Means more than these mistakes,

And though I never did turn icy blue,

There's no other color fit for you.

You left me with a head full of dizzy thoughts,

And a stomach filled with knots,

And though it always breaks back down into this,

It wasn't ever fit for you.

Maybe if you ask me nicely,

There's a chance that I might stay,

Maybe you should listen closely,

'Cause your words get in the way,

There's nothin' to say.

Oh, don't tell me that your heart aches,

Tell me when it all breaks open,

And then,

And only then can we start again.

And I don't want to heal like a plastered wall,

So weak, not fixed at all,

And even when I said don't tell me who,

There was no one on your mind but you,

Maybe if you ask me nicely,

There's a chance that I might stay,

Maybe you should listen closely,

'Cause your words get in the way,

There's nothin' to say.

Oh, don't tell me that your heart aches,

Tell me when it all breaks open,

And then,

And only then can we start again,

Don't go tellin' me that we'll see,

Tell me that you'd kill for me,

Darling and then,

And only then can we start again.

Maybe if you ask me nicely (Maybe if you ask me nicely),

Maybe you should listen closely (Maybe you should listen closely),

Then you'd hear the words I'm sayin'.

Oh, don't tell me that your heart aches,

Tell me when it all breaks open,

And then,

And only then can we start again,

Don't go tellin' me that we'll see,

Tell me that you'd kill for me,

Darling and then,

And only then.

Oh, don't tell me that your heart aches,

Tell me when it all breaks open,

And then,

And only then can we start again,

Don't go tellin' me that we'll see,

Tell me that you'd kill for me,

Darling and then,

And only then can we start again.

And only then can we start again.
