about

Madly's first single, Hands, is about the aftermath of expectations clashing with reality in relationships.

lyrics

Oh well,
The promised had been made
I would take you away
Away from here

Away from the fear
Steer you clear
of the cracks in the dream
Places where the seams
can be seen

But I can't, So I won't
Please forgive me or don't
But Know that you won't
Draw blood from a stone

Like Me....

So sit.
Sit Down

Before I feel my hands
Wrapped around your throat
And you feel your hands
Wrapped around my throat
And we feel these hands
Fade Away

Look, I was beaten and I was dragged
I was forced into the goddamned pack
I don't believe my will was free
and suddenly I feel I reek
I cannot sing. I cannot speak
I've lost the things that make me 'me'
And so I fill with pain
Look at me crooked, I'll lose my restraints

But I can't, so I won't
Please forgive me or don't
But know that you won't
Draw blood from a stone

Like Me.

So sit.
Sit Down.


Before I feel my hands
Wrapped around your throat
And you feel your hands
Wrapped around my throat
And we feel these hands
Fade Away

Oh, I know
I seemed like a solution
Truth be told
at first, so did you
But now we've seen
There is no absolution

and so....

I will always forgive you
Will you forgive me?


Before I feel my hands
Wrapped around your throat
And you feel your hands
Wrapped around my throat
And we feel these hands
Fade Away
