The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
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 at hand
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
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
