Silhouette Lyrics by Birdy

Beautiful Lies

2016

[Verse 1]
There are shadows in my dreams
Storms that steer me out of reach
And you just wait on my defeat
Hmm, hmm
So I built an army underneath
And now they guard me while I sleep
And this worn out frame will carry me
Hmm, hmm

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't go holding your breath
You know that I'm not done yet
There's still a fight in me left
Don't go shouting out loud
That you're claiming the crown
I'm down but not out
And the bittersweet of every new defeat
Is I'm stronger than before
Maybe on my knees
But I still believe
These broken wings will soar

[Chorus]
Untie my silhouette
It's all that is left of a broken heart
Leave all of my regrets
To sink like shipwrecks through oceans dark

[Verse 2]
In the dust I wrote my name
And from the ruins, hopes were raised
Cause all that's lost can be replaced
In time

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't go holding your breath
You know that I'm not done yet
There's still a fight in me left
Don't go shouting out loud
That you're claiming the crown
I'm down but not out
And the bittersweet of every new defeat
Is I'm stronger than before
Maybe on my knees
But I still believe
These broken wings will soar

[Chorus]
Untie my silhouette
It's all that is left of a broken heart
Leave all of my regrets
To sink like shipwrecks through oceans dark

[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
Untie my silhouette
It's all that is left of a broken heart
Leave all of my regrets
To sink like shipwrecks through oceans dark
