Quiet nights, losing my reflection
Who am I, but a shadow of a man
Looking down, timing my surrender
Tell my Love, I'm flying now
Mmm cold sweat I'm coming down
And I hear my demons calling at me from the ground
God save me now
Losing her, in the blinks and silence
Each goodbye, it's a long way out
So take my truth, wash it in the morning
Love's imprint, stains forevermore
Mmm
Waking up alone
I've been feeling hopeless
So just tell me what you're running from
Did it even mean a thing to you?
How could you give up on us
Before we ever saw it through
But I'm still standing at our grave, with blood on my hands and a rose for you
Remember that sunset in city park
The first night we bared our scars
Tracing silhouettes of love
Drawing lines and hiding out
Now I hear your voice in every room
It's haunting me, sweet and cruel
I kiss your polaroid at dark
A thousand miles wears my heart
You're breaking down at twenty-six
And I'm losing me, and my stomach's sick
We're barely hanging on
Been fighting fate to make it out of this
I know it's not a fairytale
The drunken calls, crawling hell
And I wish that I could give you up
But this love is real and I know it well
Mmm, mmm, mmm
This love is real I know it well
Mmm, mmm, mmm
I know
We were never perfect, but what it was was worth it
First smiles in the morning, her voice is heaven coming
And it's closest that I'll ever be
I swear I'd give you all of me
I'm turning inside out my dear
Tell me what more do you need to see?
You're holding back, and I'm diving deep
Then you twist the knife, and I let it bleed
I'll take the pain, I'd take anything for a moment in this reverie, yeah
Sweet surrender young and free, but it's fading to a memory
'Cause she looked away and closed her eyes
Said love is death and you're killing me
Mmm, mmm, mmm
This love is real, it's killing me
Mmm, mmm, mmm
And it's a long way down
