The Descent

Bastille Bastille

Say it to my face
(Oh, call me baby)
(Oh, tear me down)

Tell me, how it feels to be on the outside with your hands on the glass
Cause’ we know it’s the easiest thing in the world
To be that cynical

I looked up to you
Oh, I trusted you
I put faith in you
I guess that’s what you do

Now I stare you out as you pass me on the way down
I’ll stare you out as you pass me on the way down

Be the one, be the one, be the one to call me baby
Even though your the one who’ll always tear me down
Be the one, be the one, be the one to call me baby
Even though your the one who’ll always tear me down

How don’t you get exhausted?
Spitting forward so much by your shame
That your time is ticking and you are so replaceable

I looked up to you
Oh, I trusted you
I put faith in you
I guess that’s what you do

Now I stare you out as you pass me on the way down
I’ll stare you out as you pass me on the way down
(Down, down)

Be the one, be the one, be the one to call me baby
Even though your the one who’ll always tear me down
Be the one, be the one, be the one to call me baby
Even though your the one who’ll always tear me down

Cause I’ve put faith into you
Oh I’ve put faith into you
Woah, I’ve put faith into you
And I will break a smile when you fall

Be the one, be the one, be the one to call me baby
Even though your the one who’ll always tear me down
Be the one, be the one, be the one to call me baby
Even though your the one who’ll always tear me down

(Oh, call me baby, call be baby)
You tear me down, you tear me down (you tear me down)
Oh, call me baby
(Tear me down)
(Call me baby, ooh, call me baby, ooh, tear me down)

You won’t call me by my name
(Call me, baby)
While I’m still seeing your grave
(Tear me down)
You won’t say it to my face
(Call me, baby)
While I’m falling from your grave
(Tear me down)
You won’t call me by my name
While I’m still seeing your grave
You won’t say it to my face
While I’m falling from your grave

I breathe in hard
Don’t speak ‘cause it’s like a bitter pill
You blow my mind
You make my heartbeat faster
The echos of that news ring loud

It breaks my heart
It breaks my heart into
A million pieces
It breaks my heart into
A million pieces

If it’s gonna break me
Won’t you let me go?
Leaving to the morning
I don’t wanna know

It breaks my heart
It breaks my heart into
A million pieces
A million pieces
A million pieces
