Hold my breath and I'll count to ten
I'm the paper and you're the pen
You fill me in and you are permanent

And you'll leave me to dry
I'm a writer and she's the muse
I'm the one that you always choose

She will falter and gift her blame
And it starts all over again
Again again again


Chorus:


She is bright lights and cityscapes
And white lies and cavalcades
And she'll take all you ever have

But I'm gonna love you
You say maybe it will last this time
But I'm gonna love you

You never have to ask
I'm gonna love you
'Till you start looking back

I'm gonna love you
So right
I wouldn't need a second chance


Shield your eyes from the truth I end
Tell me why it will be good again

All those demons are closing in
And I don't want you to burn
Nevermind what I said before

I don't want any less anymore
You are carbon and I am flame
I will rise and you will

Remain

Chorus:


For bright lights and cityscapes
And landslides and masquerades

And she'll take all you ever have
But I'm gonna love you
You say 'Maybe it will last this time'

But I'm gonna love you
You never have to ask
I'm gonna love you

'Till you start looking back

I wouldn't need a second chance

I wouldn't need a second chance
I wouldn't need a second chance
I wouldn't need a second chance
