| Tell my thoughts to resign
|
| And lift you from my mind
|
| I’m not ready I’m not strong enough
|
| To cradle the weight of your love
|
| Just take a minute take a breath
|
| Lay down your head on my sunken chest
|
| I saw a flicker then just smoke
|
| But as you left I was calling your name at the night
|
| I thought we were done
|
| And young love would keep us young
|
| I thought we fell to the ground
|
| I see you whimper with no sound
|
| Open my mouth to breathe some words of peace
|
| But the silence gives nothing back to me
|
| So I’ll be a shadow of the flame
|
| I lent down to kiss you then erased my name
|
| And I’ll be a whisper on the wind
|
| My hands are shaking from holding so tight for so long
|
| The flame burnt out in our empty hands
|
| But now I see it’s got nothing to do
|
| It’s got nothing to do with you
|
| (Why do I keep falling) I thought we were done
|
| (Why do I keep falling) And young love would keep us young |
