I know I told you I only called to say goodnight
That's not the whole truth
When last night I was up 'till five
Two hours in my head then
Six with you in my dreams
After the four I wish were more than through just phone screens
She opens space when she knows I'm hurt
I speak my mind to everyone
But only speak my heart to her
Maybe I'm foolish
Or maybe that's how falling works
Don't want to lose this
But I can't be what she deserves
I'll make excuses to steal a moment from her day
She gives in too quick
When she knows she should stay away
No force could stop me
And still these memories replay
She'll break me softly
With every time she speaks my name
I'll bite my tongue as if you don't know
Everyday you fill my thoughts
I get caught in thinking things I'll never show
I couldn't tell her
The way that I could be myself
She said words can't explain what's only ever meant to be felt
And when you're falling I'm beside you
You love the stars as much as I do
And broken hearts they fall in line too
You tear me away from my sordid past
But you shouldn't stay, that's too much to ask
'Cause I know it hurts you, I played that part
But it won't last
Honey this too shall pass
She'll come to find me
On days when I could disappear
Leave it behind me
The times my mind is so unclear
Baby don't mind me
But it's better when you're near
We're a city apart, sitting in the dark
And I can hear your heart from here
Don't play the fool
I know you feel the same
I'm scared we'll never be when it's up to me
And I just can't keep you safe
You keep me stressless
My worries they just fly away
Meet me for breakfast
And don't leave each other's eyes all day
I can't stop you falling from beside you
You love the stars as much as I do
And broken hearts go where I find you
You tear me away from my sordid past
But you shouldn't stay, that's too much to ask
'Cause I know it hurts you, I played that part
But it won't last
Honey this too shall pass
This too shall pass
And if you went back now, would you let me in
Knowing I'd fall just as hard again
Or let time forget our night of wine and feelings
Breath on my neck, girl we're more than friends
Would you never know how I must pretend
Worried my love for you just won't end
I don't know your kiss but could you miss that feeling
My lips on your skin
You tear me away from my sordid past
But baby don't stay, girl I'd never ask
'Cause I know I hurt you, I played that part
But it won't last
You tear me away from my sordid past
But baby don't stay, that's too much to ask
'Cause I know it hurts you, I played that part
But it won't last
This too shall pass
This too shall pass
