you built a village
in the walled off part of my mind
you're so capricious
leadin' me to leave it all behind
and i was sitting with you
playin' on the threshold
and your deep end beckoned to me
and you were lyin' right there
and you were lyin' then too

you grew flowers in my lungs
now i can't breathe
and you put diamonds in my eyes
now i can't see
and there never was a time, never was a time
lost on me
you may make me beautiful
but nonetheless it hurts inside 'cause
i can't breathe

i found my mission
as you pushed and prodded at me
i found the vision
of who i wanted to be
and i've lived so many lives
since he who knew you
and the walls you tempted came down
and i'm so much better off without instant heartbreak
and the bells you threatened to sound

and in the moment
we were lost and wanted to be
and in the daylight
sometimes you rise as memories to keep
but in these six broken months
that i got to know you
i discovered one thing as true
when it comes to you
when it comes to me
you're better off as memories — not good ones don't you see, oh
