This song was originally on the Hearts&Spades EP by Paper Hotel.
lyrics
The garden of secrets I think you've been keeping
To what you've been told
A trouble that travels like sound over water
Inside of your soul
A steeple upon a hill all full of people
Their prayers growing cold
A choir of broken glass bottles and liars
These games are so old
You better run for the shade
I think that our cover's been made
Damages the girl's been paid
And how I know I've been played
Well you say you want to and I guess I want the same
Then you let me kiss you but you leave me in the rain
Yea you let me love you then you ride into the sun
You always leave me guessing and I guess what's done is done...
A fire of angry and burning desire
Consumes what it sees
A fountain of visions that stream down a mountain
Swept out to the sea
A shadow manifests itself down by the gallows
Whispers on the breeze
A violence so deafening loud that its silence
Brings all do their knees
You better run for the shade
I think that our cover's been made
Damages the girl's been paid
And how I know I've been played
Well you say you want to and I guess I want the same
Then you let me kiss you but you leave me in the rain
Yea you let me love you then you ride into the sun
You always leave me guessin and I guess what's done is
Guess what's done is guess what's done is done...
