Your heart is broken
And you don't seem to mind
I guess it happened
A little too many times, too many times

You tried and you've got tired
Those long half-written stories
You held a fire
Right under the snow

They don't, they don't
How could they really know, they don't
They don't how it really feels
They're just here on holidays
Like dummies filling landscapes
How could they see you cry

Do you remember me
I was the one that held you through
I held the spotlight when you did that crazy dance
I danced with you, I felt like superstars do
Me and you
We're just like superstars

I was around you
You couldn't really tell
I held you close while
While you drove you just drove into hell, you know

A kind of hurt that binds
A light that loves you blind
And while your feet go
They go deeper in the sand
You wait and drown
You're waving to the crowd, that sits

But they don't know how it really feels
They're just here on holidays
Like dummies filling landscapes
How could they see you cry

Do you remember me
I was the one that held you through
I held the spotlight when you did that crazy dance for me

Yeah you did that crazy dance
You did that crazy dance for me

Did that crazy dance, did that crazy dance...

'Cause they don't know how it really feels
They're just here on holidays
Like dummies filling landscapes
How could they see us cry

Now do you remember me
I was the one that held you through
I held the spotlight when you did that crazy dance for me
As I danced with you, I felt like superstars do
Me and you
We're just like superstars

Danced with you, just like superstars do
Me and you
Just like superstars
