The Beat Stops

A melancholy melody, an interesting melody
Makes me feel these words you can't explain
A mesmerizing harmony, reminds me of when you will be
The songs of yesterday play in my mind again

The music now intensifies, reminding me of all the lies
The lies you told, the name you cried
The lies I read, leave your side
The cries, the drama, clearer to my soul

And when the beat stops
It gives me a second to breathe and to see the mistakes you've made
And when the beat stops
I suddenly fall to my knees as the music resounds in me
And when the beat stops
It gives me a second to breathe and to see the mistakes you've made
And when the beat stops
I suddenly fall to my knees as the music resounds in me
And when the beat stops, and then the beat drops

And then the haunting absence of the beat
The nothingness, I can't defeat
Something starts to roll, as my heart is found
The pages start to read your name
As if we were ever young again
The shadows of our love are all that's left

The music now intensifies, reminding me of all the lies
The lies you told, the name you cried
The lies I read, leave your side
The cries, the drama, clearer to my soul

And when the beat stops
It gives me a second to breathe and to see the mistakes you've made
And when the beat stops
I suddenly fall to my knees as the music resounds in me
And when the beat stops
It gives me a second to breathe and to see the mistakes you've made
And when the beat stops
I suddenly fall to my knees as the music resounds in me
And when the beat stops
It gives me a second to breathe again

And when the beat stops
It gives me a second to breathe again
And when the beat stops
