Lyrics
A Thousand Years
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.
You were right, you were bigger than me
I no longer see the sun, you have eclipsed it
When you laughed, you reflected back the light
The glow of a million creatures with hearth burning bright
I will wait for you a thousand years
You retrograde like planets slipping backwards
I will wait for you one thousand more
One thousand promises, one thousand last goodbyes
You were right, you were better than me
I've broken all my mirrors so you can't see
What you've done to me
I am yours, forever more
I will wait for you a thousand years
One thousand promises, one thousand last goodbyes
I will wait for you one thousand more
You retrograde like planets slipping backwards
Slipping backwards
You were right
You were right
You were right
You were right
I will wait for you a thousand years
You retrograde like planets slipping backwards
I will wait for you one thousand more
One thousand promises, one thousand last goodbyes
A thousand last goodbyes
You were right
You were right
