Drawn & Quartered Lyrics

We can be like all the others with nowhere to go
Paint ourselves into a corner with hope
This could be the end of everything we're afraid of
Or a dream of one

Let's hold these hearts for one another
It's worth all wounds,
It must be
If I'm drawn and quartered,
It's only for you, shall we
Hold that thought now and forever
In all shades of blue

So why won't you,
They're waiting for you,
So why won't you go on and run

Every part of me wants to believe
There's a darkness we need to feel
For the brightest light to be seen and felt inside
Only because of you

Let's hold these hearts for one another
It's worth all wounds,
It must be
If I'm drawn and quartered,
It's only for you, shall we
Hold that thought now and forever
In all shades of blue

So why won't you,
They want you to,
So why won't you go on and run
With them run away
Go on and run away
And I'll stay yours drawn & quartered
Drawn & quartered
Drawn & quartered for you

It's all I can do

My baby
Hold that thought now and forever
In all shades of blue

So why won't you,
I'll wait for you,
So why won't you go on and run
So why won't you (go on and run)
So why won't you go on and run
With me run away

Hold these hearts for one another
Hold these thoughts now and forever we'll be
Always

Join Me In Death

Buried Alive By Love

Gone With The Sin

Right Here In My Arms

Wings of a Butterfly

We can be like all the others with nowhere to go
Paint ourselves into a corner with hope
This could be the end of everything we're afraid of 
Or a dream of one

Let's hold these hearts for one another
It's worth all wounds, 
It must be
If I'm drawn and quartered,
It's only for you, shall we
Hold that thought now and forever
In all shades of blue

So why won't you,
They're waiting for you,
So why won't you go on and run

Every part of me wants to believe
There's a darkness we need to feel
For the brightest light to be seen and felt inside
Only because of you

Let's hold these hearts for one another
It's worth all wounds, 
It must be
If I'm drawn and quartered,
It's only for you, shall we
Hold that thought now and forever
In all shades of blue

So why won't you,
They want you to, 
So why won't you go on and run 
With them run away 
Go on and run away
And I'll stay yours drawn & quartered
Drawn & quartered 
Drawn & quartered for you

It's all I can do

My baby
Hold that thought now and forever
In all shades of blue

So why won't you,
I'll wait for you,
So why won't you go on and run
So why won't you (go on and run)
So why won't you go on and run
With me run away

Hold these hearts for one another
Hold these thoughts now and forever we'll be
Always

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is very bittersweet. I think it's about the one that got away. That lost love that no matter what, you will still love them. Even after they've gone on with their lives, you will still be there waiting for there love because that is how powerful your love for them is. Holding onto the memories of the beautiful love you once had brings a sweet pain to reminiscence about. Because all you have, all that is left, is to live onto that love that once was and the hurt that memory brings (because the love is now lost) is worth everything in the world and is all you have! I can totally relate.

Official lyrics from Japanese version of Tears on Tape:

We can be like all the others with nowhere to go Paint ourselves into a corner with hope This could be the end of everything we're afraid of Or a dream of one

Let's hold these hearts for one another It's worth all wounds, It must be If I'm drawn and quartered, It's only for you, shall we Hold that thought now and forever In all shades of blue

So why won't you, They're waiting for you, So why won't you go on and run

Every part of me wants to believe There's a darkness we need to feel For the brightest light to be seen and felt inside Only because of you

Let's hold these hearts for one another It's worth all wounds, It must be If I'm drawn and quartered, It's only for you, shall we Hold that thought now and forever In all shades of blue

So why won't you, They want you to, So why won't you go on and run With them run away Go on and run away And I'll stay yours drawn & quartered Drawn & quartered Drawn & quartered for you

It's all I can do

My baby Hold that thought now and forever In all shades of blue

So why won't you, I'll wait for you, So why won't you go on and run So why won't you (go on and run) So why won't you go on and run With me run away

Hold these hearts for one another Hold these thoughts now and forever we'll be Always
