"Bulletproof Heart" by My Chemical Romance
I think the hardest thing about all of this is letting go...
Because that dream ended a long, long time ago...
Gravity don't mean too much to me
I'm who I've got to be
These pigs are after me, after you
Run away like it was yesterday
And we could run away
If we could run away,
Run away from here
I got a bulletproof heart
You got a hollow point smile
Me and your runaway scars,
Got a photograph dream on the getaway mile.
Let's blow a hole in this town
And do our talking with a laser beam.
Gunning out of this place
In a bullet's embrace
Then we'll do it again.
How can they say? "Jenny could you come back home?"
'Cause everybody knows you don't
Ever wanna come back
Let me be the one to save you.
Gravity don't mean too much to me
I'm who I've got to be.
These pigs are after me, after you
Run away, like it was yesterday
When we would run away,
When we could run away, run away from here.
I'm shooting out of this room
Because I sure don't like the company
Stop your preaching right there
Cause I really don't care
And I'll do it again.
So get me out of my head.
'Cause it's getting kind of cramped, you know.
Coming ready or not
When the motor gets hot
We can do it again.
The papers say, "Johnny won't you come back home?"
'Cause everybody knows you don't
Want to give yourself up
Tell the truth and God will save you
Gravity don't mean too much to me
I'm who I've got to be
These pigs are after me, after you
Run away, like it was yesterday
And we could run away,
And we could run away, if we could run away, run away from here.
And though I know how much you hate this
Are you gonna be the one to save us
From the black and hopeless feeling?
Will you mean it when the end comes reeling?
Hold your heart into this darkness
Will it ever be the light to shine you out
Or fail and leave you stranded?
I ain't gonna be the one left standing.
You ain't gonna be the one left standing.
We ain't gonna be the ones left standing.
Gravity don't mean too much to me
Is this our destiny?
This world is after me, after you
Run away, like it was yesterday
And we could run away, run away, run away,
Run away from here.
away from here.
Away from here.
I'm who I've got to be
These pigs are after me, after you
Run away like it was yesterday
And we could run away
If we could run away,
Run away from here
To be completely honest it sucks because at one point in time everything was perfect. Nothing could get me down, because at the end of the day I got to talk to her. Everything, every last fucking thing revolved around her. Everything I did, everything I had left to do, they were all one more step closer to the rest of our lives together...
I got a bulletproof heart

Me and your runaway scars,
Got a photograph dream on the getaway mile.

When we could run away, run away from here.
Was it childish to feel this way? It was like a summer romance all year long. Work, school, they went by so fast, because all day all I could think about was her, talking to her, getting to hold her, doing all the stupid little things we would to together. Nothing else in the world mattered, once upon a time...

But eventually it ended. That summer vacation had reached it's fall, because at some point every dream ends when we awake...
And though I know how much you hate this
Are you gonna be the one to save us
From the black and hopeless feeling?
Will you mean it when the end comes reeling?
Hold your heart into this darkness
Will it ever be the light to shine you out

Run away, like it was yesterday
And we could run away, run away, run away,
Run away from here.
And as much as I'd love to hold on to the memories...
Yeah, And have that feeling of summer all year long...
away from here.
I have nothing left to do but feel content with being awake...
Away from here.
Because that dream ended a long, long time ago...
I actually liked this one. They symbolism and meaning in the lyrics really did guide the writing. I do still think you need to have a reader's guide to the end because not all of us will get exactly what you mean. I think your readers need to look deeper into the meaning of the lyrics and see how each section changes. The first section is obviously about her, the second you, and then the tone of the writing winds down into a dark abyss. I expect this to be a setup for the next writing. And I hope this isn't the last Runaway blog ever. I don't think it should end like this.
