On an adventure that took us from cliff tops to forests, we ran free and hid amongst the shadows, sick with being found out, wasting away like a panicked songbird wanting to be set free.

I broke all the rules for you.

We lost a key in the forest, we swam in the dark water. All the danger was there and you made it safe. We flew away to a house that crumbled by the sea,We lived in ruins under the weight of guilt, we pieced together a home.

 I broke all the rules for you.

Given a crown to wear  I let myself believe, this was a fairytale and I could be queen. I dared to dream of adventures that would last a lifetime. To always say your name and be ok.

I broke all the rules for you.

You wore my name and I walked by your side, my every moment was to grow us, to nurture what little we had, I loved you so fiercely that I forgot to love myself,  I broke us somehow when I broke all the rules for you.

I broke all my rules for you and now I’m alone in a dark forest, lost amongst the shadows. 

I walk the cliffs alone, pulled towards the dark waters below. 

The house is an ugly broken shell and I don’t even have the key. 

The adventures won’t happen and the crown is made of broken glass.

 But still I break all the rules for you.
