Door slamming shut on us, my love
it’s time for bed I think and
Oh, my love, I’ve grown so cold to you
I’m sorry you broke my heart again.
We were driving in your car last night
the air it wasn’t right between us
Oh, I took a photograph of you
My love, in that light, in that light
things just seemed alright.
Time is running out I fear
this lullaby I wrote for you
to fall asleep to
is winding down, it seems unfair.
Oh, my love I’ve grown accustomed to
the light of loving you
and Oh, my love I think my heart’s in two
but I know I’d still give both pieces to you.
Smoke it fills my lungs with black and dust
I just close my eyes and trust
Because if you held the matches,
I would still believe I set myself on fire.
Oh, my love I died again last night
it all caved in and while I cried
you came inside, you made it alright, alright alright.
And Oh my love, if you hurt me everytime
I’d run right back, rewrite each line
Because my love I love you so
Even when my heart has broke.

Door slamming shut on us, my love

Oh, my love, I’ve grown so cold to you
I’m sorry you broke my heart again.
We were driving in your car last night

Oh, I took a photograph of you
My love, in that light, in that light
things just seemed alright.
Time is running out I fear

Oh, my love I’ve grown accustomed to

Smoke it fills my lungs with black and dust

Oh, my love I died again last night

And Oh my love, if you hurt me everytime
I’d run right back, rewrite each line
Because my love I love you so
Even when my heart has broke.
