[Verse 1]
What are you so worried about saying out loud?
Scared they're getting close, are they're getting close to the safe now?
Confiding in the silence, whispering with all that violence
Raging through your brain, I was raging all the same
[Pre-Chorus]
You're breaking out, I'm breaking in
You're spoken for, I was spoken down to
You were dreaming in my nightmares, and I'm dreaming in yours
I've been looking for my friend since I can't remember when
Now you're nowhere to be found, left me here on the ground
[Chorus]
I was afraid of your heart, I was afraid of mine
"It's not supposed to be easy, love" — a candle still flickers in the dark
I was scared of how I felt, I was scared of what it meant
The cleanest way for this to end is with a frightened whisper in the dark
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah I still fall apart
Frightened whispers in the dark
[Verse 2]
What are you so worried about for crying out loud?
Scared I'm getting close, am I getting under your skin now?
Confiding in the silence, an orchestra of tiny violins
Playing on insane at the funeral in your brain
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll live without, I'll live within
You were spoken for, I was spoken down to
You were dreaming in my nightmares, and I'm dreaming in yours
I've been looking for my friend since I can't remember when
Now you're nowhere to be found, left me here on the ground
[Chorus]
I was afraid of your heart, I was afraid of mine
"It's not supposed to be easy, love" — a candle still flickers in the dark
I was scared of how I felt, I was scared of what it meant
The cleanest way for this to end is with a frightened whisper in the dark
I was afraid of your heart, I was afraid of mine
"It's not supposed to be easy, love" — a candle still flickers in the dark
I was scared of how I felt, I was scared of what it meant
The cleanest way for this to end is with a frightened whisper in the dark
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah I still fall apart
Frightened whispers in the dark
[Outro]
Yeah I still fall apart
Frightened whispers in the dark

Andrew Davie:
This is quite a bizarre song, really. I was struggling a lot with writing songs a while ago, and a friend of mine suggested that we both just write one song in a day and send it to each other. I wrote some electronic music and some lyrics and just fired it over, and it really broke me...
