lyrics
Well I don’t believe in love ‘cause it never was enough for me
So tell me that you want me, tell me that you need me
Even if it’s make believe
I wonder what we’d be, but I can see beneath your eyes
It’s never gonna last so don’t get too attached
It’ll go as fast as it arrived
Me…
I’m not really too good at goodbyes
So I learned to never really ever say hello
That love bug, it’ll get you high high high
So I always learned to just stay below
And them days’ll change
This is a game that I’ve played before
I know we got a little ways to go until we close the door
And I hate to go but
But I told you
When I met you
That I know you
Think it’s special
But I’ve grown to
Be forgetful
From regrets that I built in a castle with a queen and before you leaned and I asked you not to ask me about the tattoo on my heart ‘cause I hid a dream in a capsule and I swallowed it with a drink in a glassful
Felt a sting like a stab wound
But I had to
Now the sting is a scar of a scene that you might see in me but I keep on wishing I could go back to
Well I don’t believe in love ‘cause it never was enough for me
So tell me that you want me, tell me that you need me
Even if it’s make believe
I wonder what we’d be, but I can see beneath your eyes
It’s never gonna last so don’t get too attached
It’ll go as fast as it arrived (x2)
If there’s anything to say
It’s been said a million times
So I don’t need to tell you what I see beneath your eyes
The definition of transience is never holding your hand again
But it’s better to keep a distance than to closely watch it die
If there’s anything I’ve learned
It’s that anything can fall
And if you watch in fast motion it’s a bloom and dissolve
The definition of transience is leaving in what you landed in
But it’s better to love and lose than to never love at all
If there’s anything I know
It’s that I never really left you
‘Cause if we met again and you kissed me I would let you
The definition of emptiness is never finishing sentences
But it’s better to trail off than to forget to
