He says he doesn’t believe
Anything much he hears these days
He says: Why fall in love
Just so you can watch it go away?
He spends most of his nights
Wishing it was how it used to be
He spends most of his flights
Getting pulled down by gravity
I call just checking up on him
He’s up, 3am pacing
He says: It’s not just a phase I'm in
My voice comes out begging
All this time I didn’t know
You were breaking down
I’d fall to pieces on the floor
If you weren’t around
Too young to know it gets better
I’ll be summer sun for you forever
Forever winter if you go
He seems fine most of the time
Forcing smiles and never minds
His laugh is a symphony
When the lights go out
It’s hard to breathe
I pull at every thread
Trying to solve the puzzles
In his head
Live my life scared to death
He’ll decide to leave instead
I call just checking up on him
He’s up, 5am wasted
Long gone, not even listening
My voice comes out screaming
All this time I didn’t know
You were breaking down
I’d fall to pieces on the floor
If you weren’t around
Too young to know it gets better
I’ll be summer sun for you forever
Forever winter if you go
If I was standing there
In your apartment
I’d take that bomb in your head
And disarm it
I’d say I love you even
At your darkest and
Please don’t go
I didn’t know
You were breaking down
I’d fall to pieces on the floor
If you weren’t around
Too young to know it gets better
I’ll be summer sun for you forever
Forever winter if you go
I’ll be your summer sun forever
At 3am pacing
All this time I didn’t know
At 5am wasted
I’d be in pieces on the floor
Forever winter if you go
He says he doesn’t believe
Anything much he hears these days
I say, “Believe in one thing
I won’t go away”
