Verse 1:
lights out put my seat
back as far as it will go
casting shadows like statues
I'm right outside your window
there’s no such
thing as second chance
there’s no such thing
don’t bother to explain
Refrain:
you're so beautiful
did you hear a word I said?
you're so beautiful
I guess this is what I get

Chorus:
we trust and believe so easily
and words they speak we
seek security in one another
but there’s no way to cover this
and these tragic nights
and afternoons weak disaster
and I can still feel you
as if you were in the room
where does our story
end? where does it start?
I buried you along with my heart

Verse 2:
entertain me
tell me it didn't
mean anything
its vengous worth
my tolerance
and I could be careless
but I promise you'll
feel everything
