We have such a dark history
She was always there
Letting go of coins into ed away pay-phones
Listening to me gasp for air
She's in between the lines
Each word a different lie
Crying out "god bless you. "
God bless the ones we forget
I've had my wars, trust me
I fought my world, trust me
Turnstile trials swing us round to your confession
An orchestra of jackals sing notes of my depression

You're my favorite lullaby
Sing that song one last time tonight
When I am lost, you'll always be my true north
Little candle in the dark
Burn forever in my heart
And keep me warm, always
I'll keep you warm, always

I wish we'd go back
I'd change us - make us new
I'd build an empire just for you
Your cheap-shots
Your bottled thoughts
Our loudmouthed romance came off as vainglorious

I know we shouldn't
You say it all the time
But I can't help it
And why should I?
This is why we're here
Trembling in the dark
We're young and we can
Escape if we want
I keep these secrets we made
Close to my heart
Nobody else will ever know
How beautiful they are
'Cause they belong to you and me
And nothing can ever take that away

You're my favorite lullaby
Sing that song one last time tonight
When I am lost, you'll always be my true north (my true north)
Little candle in the dark
Burn forever in my heart
And keep me warm, always
I'll keep you warm, always
