Canaries in a Coal Mine

[Verse 1]
Somewhere along the line, I think I just quit
Waking you up every single time I had a bad dream
I remember them kids on your living room floor
Chinese food, ain't there no more, it's a sad thing

[Chorus]
'Cause my god, we choked on every sorry 'til we sang our voices dry
Ignored every single warning, but broken wings can't fly
Like canaries in a coal mine
Saw the cracks before the landslide
We were never getting out alive
Sometimes love just dies
Like canaries in a coal mine

[Verse 2]
Do you remember that morning in the upstairs hall
Brushed right by you, said nothing at all and that said everything?
Blame it on time, it does what it does
It is what it is and it ain't what it was and it's damn shame

[Chorus]
'Cause my god, I swear it was just summer
We were two birds on a wire
And I can't help but wonder, will we ever see the light?
Like canaries in a coal mine
Saw the cracks before the landslide
We were never getting out alive
Sometimes love just dies
Like canaries in a coal mine
Like canaries in a coal mine

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
'Cause my god, we choked on every sorry 'til we sang our voices dry
Ignored every single warning but broken wings can't fly
Like canaries in a coal mine
Saw the cracks before the landslide
We were never getting out alive
Like canaries in a coal mine
