"Small Disasters" lyrics

Rest my head against the wall
Waiting for a call that never came
'Cause time moves so slowly when you're still holding onto blame

I tried but can't forget the day
You were reaching for my hand as I touched your face
When your secrets were still safe from me
Till your eyes gave you away

'Cause we are drowning
Above the water
In a movie drained of colour
Luckless lovers
With a past that's just a string of small disasters
I'd give it all just to feel something real

And now I see the warning signs
With the benefit of hindsight I was blind
To the way you'd make me feel so crazy
Just to protect your lies

And all I wanted was the truth
The better part of you that I still see
'Cause love is all we have to give
But you took my best for free

'Cause we are drowning
Above the water
In a movie drained of colour
Luckless lovers
With a past that's just a string of small disasters
I'd give it all just to feel something real

And the one thing that really hurts is
We were so close to being perfect
And I know you'll be okay
And that's what kills me, yeah

'Cause we are drowning
Above the water
In a movie drained of colour
Luckless lovers
With a past that's just a string of small disasters

'Cause we are drowning
Above the water
In a movie drained of colour
Luckless lovers
With a past that's just a string of small disasters
I'd give it all just to feel something real
(Something real)
Oh, I'd give it all just to feel something real
