lyrics

There's a lot of things in this world that you fear
And some of those are words that I'm gonna say and you'll hear
Tonight
Tonight
You dream in poetry
So let me change this prose
Thou shalt feel more complete
Whence this green poison packs up and goes tonight
Tonight
Clouds dance
Waves break
Sunsets
Sunrise

And please don't cry or else my eyes might do it too
I'm not prone to tears but I think it speaks to the extent to which I cared about
Please don't cry or else my eyes might do it too
I'm not prone to tears but I think it speaks to the extent to which I cared about you

This has gone on too long
I hope sleep finds me tonight
An unexplainable decline with the best girl of my life
And you ask where it went wrong
My truth won't satisfy you
Do I blame my mouth or my heart for not saying I love you too
Cars chase
Winds race
Birds wings take flight
Yeah

And please don't cry or else my eyes might do it too
I'm not prone to tears but I think it speaks to the extent to which I cared about
Please don't cry or else my eyes might do it too
I'm not prone to tears but I think it speaks to the extent to which I cared about you

But I've got to be strong
Rebounds are bound to fall through
Just know we'll always live on in the songs you inspired
And the things in this world that remind me of you
But I've got to be strong
Rebounds are bound to fall through
Just know we'll always live on in the songs you inspired
And the things in this world that remind me of you

And please don't cry or else my eyes might do it too
I'm not prone to tears but I think it speaks to the extent to which I care about
Please don't cry or else my eyes might do it too
I'm not prone to tears but I think it speaks to the extent to which I care about
Please don't cry or else my eyes might do it too
I'm not prone to tears but I think it speaks to the extent to which I care about you
Ooh
