Burn a candle out for me
Sit and watch it 'til you sleep
Hear the cracking of the flame
Try my best to say your name
Cut that name into a tree
Where we carved our names so deep
Let the warmth inside it speak
Try my best to hear you breathe
We should've been enemies
We should've been enemies
Break the bones of something dead
Feel it hold on to what is left
Let the earth it's on give way
Try to bury what we've made
Try to bury what we've made
Hear you singing in your sleep
Song of the night bird calling me
Spread its wings out like a flame
Try my best to say your name
Saw that bird up in that tree
Where we carved our names so deep
Felt the warmth inside it speak
Try my best to hear you breathe
We should've been enemies
We should've been enemies
Break the bones of something dead
Feel it hold on to what is left
Let the earth it's on give way
Try to bury what we've made
Break the bones of something dead
Feel it hold on to what is left
Let the earth it's on give way
Try to bury what we've made
Break the bones of something dead
Feel it hold on to what is left
Let the earth it's on give way
Try to bury what we've made
Try to bury what we've made
We should've been enemies
(We should've been enemies)
We should've been enemies
(We should've been enemies)
We should've been enemies
