The first time we met, your face became etched in my mind
You were the sun; I was the one who worshipped you
My hands were your guns; your eyes were my muse

And I knew you could never love me
I had so much sorrow inside you could never reach
But can I still keep a place in your heart?

You broke my heart You promised me the moon and stars
I fell for your dreams I fell for your lies
There was no other way, you know I tried
And I knew you could never love me
I had so much sorrow inside you could never reach
But can I still keep a place in your heart?

There is something I want you to know
I think you know exactly what it is
I didn't want to save you I didn't want to save you
I set our house on fire to watch it burn
But I couldn't just leave you there

And I knew you could never love me
I had so much sorrow inside you could never reach
But I'll ask you this
Will you still miss me? "Yes, I'll miss you"
Do you love me? "Yes, I love you"

Planes fill the sky; we'll both die tonight We'll both die tonight
Hands from the sky swat us away like flies, as we follow the light

This union a battle fought and lost
This union was not about the cause
This union was never about love
