Statues lyrics

You're just the statue

Of the boy I used to know

You're just a tattoo

Of the words that we once spoke

You're the dry river

Where the love used to flow

But it still runs through me

With you it had to go

But if you take this back

I'll be waiting to come alive, come alive

If you turn your back I'll be waiting to fly

But you're like the falling leaves

Whilst I'm still the oak tree

'Cause you're the one to leave

Now I'm falling asleep

You're like the broken keys

Whilst I'm just a broken home

Cause as I breathe in deep you're looking at me

Like a statue of the boy I used to know

You're just a lighter

With no fuel to light our flame

You know I'd fight for this

But you wouldn't do the same

'Cause you're just a diary

With a blank and empty page

But the story we wrote

I can't quite erase

But if you take this back

I'll be waiting to come alive, come alive

If you turn your back I'll be waiting to fly

But you're like the falling leaves

Whilst I'm still the oak tree

'Cause you're the one that leaves

Now I'm falling asleep

You're like the broken keys

Whilst I'm just a broken home

Cause as I breathe in deep you're looking at me

Like a statue of the boy I used to know

I'll watch you fall to the ground

'Cause there's just stone in your eyes now

We had it all, till we were found

We're just living these lies now

'Cause you're like the falling leaves

Whilst I'm still the oak tree

'Cause you're the one to leave

Now I'm falling asleep

'Cause you're like the broken keys

Whilst I'm just a broken home

And I breathe in deep as I watch you leave

You're statue of the boy I used to know
