we never did get that sunrise.

close your eyes and fall asleep, dear
there are secrets that i keep, dear
yes there are, even from you
like how i lie awake and watch your chest rise
until the sun’s rays enter the blue skies
do you swear you’ll always be true?

cause i hold my heart and hum this tune
and outside there’s a shining moon
how is it that while a heart can break
the moon stays whole?
and are empty tears justified
by having a broken soul?
mismatched lyrics sewn together
like a day in another life
and that day is always red
when that song you sing is a knife.

turn the lights off, darling
close your eyes and go to sleep
stop thinking about “what if”
and pretend you’re lying with me
cause i know that i’d sleep easier
thinking i was in your arms
and i don’t believe in magic tricks
but let this song be your lucky charm

cause i hold my heart and hum this tune
and outside there’s a shining moon
how is it that while a heart can break
the moon stays whole?
and are empty tears justified
by having a broken soul?
mismatched lyrics sewn together
like a day in another life
and that day is always red
when that song you sing is a knife.

and somehow, you find beauty in broken down things
like the harlequin I was turned soft, yet bittersweet
and if i don’t mean anything to you please, just let me know
cause i don’t think you know what you’ll put me through
if i’m nothing, just let me go

cause i hold my heart and hum this tune
and outside there’s a shining moon
how is it that while a heart can break
the moon stays whole?
and are empty tears justified
by having a broken soul
mismatched lyrics sewn together
like a day in another life
and that day is always red
when that song you sing is a knife.

so let me sing you off to sleep
cause you always liked the bittersweet
“i love you,” is my favorite lie
so here you go, this is your lullaby
