lyrics

Chandeliers and golden doors, tell me baby
Is this the place you told me you would take me to?
The heaven of the doomed?
Stars collide every time a soldier falls
In this sweet war we're fighting for our souls

Baby, baby
Don't go breaking my heart
Don't go breaking my heart
Let's have one more dance before the armies come
And blades tear us apart
Baby, baby
The boundaries that we traced
Were meant for someone else
We're all just masks and scars
We're all just masks and scars.

Pride is not a sin, I'm gonna wear my medals
on display, upon my chest, above my heart
Down under my clothes the mouthshapes whisper softly
All the fingerprints still moving on my skin
I don't own anything
Separate truths, will they ever find the middle?
Raise the flag, it's time we called a truce

I'm holding tight to you
I'm floating like a feather in your arms
Wishing this dance would last forever
And look at all these lights
And look at all this glitter
And out of all the people
Only you and I, we know...

Baby, baby, don't go breaking my heart
Don't go breaking my heart
I've given you my freedom, in exchange you gave me yours
I guess that's how love works

Baby, baby
Don't go breaking my heart
Don't go breaking my heart
Let's have one more dance before the armies come
And blades tear as apart
Baby, baby
You shouldn't break my heart
Now that you know that
We're both just masks and scars
We're both just masks and scars
