1114

First time we met
Face became etched
In my mind
You were the sun
I was the one who worshipped you
My hands were your guns
Your eyes were my muse

And I knew you could never love me
I had so much sorrow inside you could never reach
But can I still keep
A place in your heart?

You broke my heart
You promised me the moon and stars
I fell for your dreams
I fell for your lies
There was no other way
You know I tried

And I knew you could never love me
I had so much sorrow inside you could never reach
But can I still keep
A place in your heart?

There is something
I want you to know
I think you know exactly what it is
I didn't want to save you
I didn't want to save you
I set our house on fire
To watch it burn
But I couldn't just leave you

And I knew you could never love me
I had so much sorrow inside you could never reach
But I'll ask you this
Will you still miss me?
I still miss you
Will you love me?
Yes, I love you

Plans fill the sky;
we'll both die tonight.
We'll both die tonight.
Hands from the sky swat us away like flies,
as we follow the light.

[This union, a battle fought and lost
This union was not about the cause
This union was never about love]
