I would lace together pretty words 
And tie them about your neck 
So they sparkle on your face 
And pin such dreams to your clothes 
So you can wear them everywhere you go, everywhere you go. 

I won’t forget you, I need the pain. 

I would blend a palette of melodies 
To paint upon your skin 
So your reflection sings, 
And conduct your very breath 
To play along in harmony, to play in harmony.

I won’t forget you, I need the pain. 

Yet I am drowning in memories that stick to me like oil 
And suck me beneath a sea I would swim so easily 
I can lace nothing, I can blend nothing. 

I won’t forget you, I need the pain. 

I couldn't lie 
I couldn't lie 
I looked in your eyes 
And couldn't lie 
And then you left 
You couldn't live like this 
Well here's the thing baby 
At least we exist.
