Foolproof – ...and Only Then lyrics

The smallest breath that I could ever take
It's more than these mistakes
And though I never did turn icy blue
This was a color fit for you

You left me with a head full of dizzy thoughts
And a stomach filled with clots
And though it always breaks back down in two
This wasn't ever fit for you

Maybe if you ask me nicely
There's a chance that I might stay
Maybe you should listen closely
'Cause your words get in the way
(There's nothin' to say)

Oh, don't tell me that your heart aches
Tell me when it all breaks open
And then
And only then can we start again

And I don't want to heal like a plastered wall
So weak, not fixed at all
And even when I said don't tell me who
There was no one on your mind but you

Maybe if you ask me nicely
There's a chance that I might stay
Maybe you should listen closely
'Cause your words get in the way
(There's nothin' to say)

Oh, don't tell me that your heart aches
Tell me when it all breaks open
And then
And only then can we start again
Don't go tellin' me that we'll see
Tell me that you'd kill for me
Darling and then
And only then can we start again

Maybe if you ask me nicely
Maybe you should listen closely
Can't you hear the words I'm singin'

Oh, don't tell me that your heart aches
Tell me when it all breaks open
And then
And only then can we start again
Don't go tellin' me that we'll see
Tell me that you'd kill for me
Darling and then
And only then

Oh, don't tell me that your heart aches
Tell me when it all breaks open
And then
And only then can we start again
Don't go tellin' me that we'll see
Tell me that you'd kill for me
Darling and then
And only then can we start again

And only then can we start again
