On track 7 of Silver, Jady writes from the perspective of a friend concerned about the emotional state of a loved one.
He promises this person that no matter what, he is prepared to run through metaphorical landmines to help them out of the painful state they finds themselves in.
[Verse 1]
Nobody listens
So you stay alone
Planting explosives to keep from getting close
You packed a gun today
And we both know why
There's nothin' they could say to make you change your mind
'Cause you knew they didn't mind
[Chorus]
But I'm running through the landmines to get to your heart
Don't care who's on the sidelines, breaking you apart
'Cause I can't stand to see you thinking you've gone too far
I know you believe it
But don't you lie to yourself
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-woah
Oh-oh, oh-woah-oh
Oh-oh, oh-woah
Oh-oh, oh-woah-oh (Don't you lie to yourself)
Oh-oh, oh-woah
Oh-oh, oh-woah-oh, nah
[Verse 2]
You wanna be the judge for a day
Punish their sins?
All 'cause they've done this to you for all the days you lived
Everybody has worth 'til they're insane
And they keep their distance, thinking you're the one to blame
But it's just a product from their lack of love
And if no one cares, then tell me why I can't help but run?
[Chorus]
But I'm running through the landmines to get to your heart
Don't care who's on the sidelines, breaking you apart
'Cause I can't stand to see you thinking you've gone too far
I know you believe it
But don't you lie to yourself
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-woah
Oh-oh, oh-woah-oh
Oh-oh, oh-woah
[Outro]
So I'm running through the landmines to get to your heart
Don't care who's on the sidelines, breaking you apart
'Cause I can't stand to see you thinking you've gone too far
I know, please, believe it
