My heart must be a SPARROW,
    Because it flies!
My heart must be mortal,
    Because it dies!
Hang that Sparrow from the tree!
    Ah, my sweet Heart,
Why do you burden me?

She came to me with red eyes and tears
Said please don't tell another soul
Swear on Shakespeare's quiet grave
They can't know that you know
She told me of the skeletons that lie in his head
That whisper in his ear
She told me he's not insane
And not to be afraid
But the shadows in his eyes will never change

It's the darkness behind the eyes that kills
It's the shadows in the walls
That can never get their fill
The pressure, the demons, they tear him apart
All four of them are taunting him, and taunting him, they're taunting him
Taunting him in the dark

We all have our secrets
But not everyone can have the keys
Dancing near their collarbones for everyone to see
And I think back to the first few years
Just a glance, or two, or three
I never could've guessed
Never could've watched him get undressed
Without knowing all the rest
Since when is this world such a mess?  

It's the darkness behind the eyes that kills
It's the shadows in the walls
That can never get their fill
The pressure, the demons, they tear him apart
All four of them are taunting him, and taunting him, they're taunting him
Taunting him in the dark

And maybe it's about the regrets
Or the close calls and the second guesses
And the time
Oh, the time
The time that's spent that I can't get back
Even if it's just fleeting thoughts
Three years and four ghosts too long
And to be honest
I don't know why I wrote this song

She came to me, all red eyes and tears
And we've all seen a little darkness and we've felt a little fear
And I just wanted someone to explain
But nothing had changed
And no one is to blame

I don't want to look at him
Not even say his name
Someday someone's going to break his heart
And I don't want to be the one to blame

One year, no months, twelve days
Just enough to matter
Someday someone will teach him how to kiss
And I don't want to have to hate her

There's so much future so much promise
Biologist and athlete
Compared to English teacher and literature
It's all just out of reach

There's so much no one knows
And so much that no one sees
Once twice thrice
Sometimes the scars still bleed

So just as this was the first one
It'll also be the last
The words locked away like a bird in a cage
And it's all in the past

The bitter, night wind blows through my hair
Spring left April and now it's just air
But sometimes I just can't breathe
Blame it all on you, blame it all on me

The sky is dark and your eyes are the stars
A glint of something different behind the dark brown
And I swear that the man on the moon
Has absolutely nothing on you

Maybe sometimes you're a little quiet, a little sad
Pulling on the waves until they grow and crash
Just wait for the sunrise, wait for the morning
And maybe you could get some rest

Not every night has to be a full moon
Like every sky doesn't have to be blue
And not every star has to shine
But all in all, I wish they were mine

The man in the moon, the boy in the mirror
Everything suddenly seems so clear
Because you'll never again see someone so in love
With anything that hangs so far above

Let's start it over again
one more talk,
one more long conversation,
one more friendship.
Please, One More Chance.

One more hug,
one more kiss,
one more romance.
Please, One More Chance.

No more crying,
no more pain,
no more heartbreaks.
Please, Give Me One More Chance.

Give me one more chance
to show how much I regret
days without you...

Give me one more chance
to show how much ...
how much I LOVE YOU.
