troy

i'll remember it

and dublin in a rainstorm

and sitting in the long grass in summer

keeping warm

i'll remember it

every restless night

we were so young then

we thought that everything

we could possibly do was right

then we moved

stolen from our very eyes

and i wondered where you went to

tell me when did the light die

you will rise

you'll return

the phoenix from the flame

you will learn

you will rise

you'll return

being what you are

there is no other troy

for you to burn

and i never meant to hurt you

i swear i didn't mean

those things i said

i never meant to do that to you

next time i'll keep my hands to myself instead

oh

does she love you

what do you want to do?

does she need you like i do?

do you love her?

is she good for you?

does she hold you like i do?

do you want me?

should i leave?

i know you're always telling me

that you love me

just sometimes i wonder

if i should believe

oh

i love you

god

i love you

i'd kill a dragon for you

i'll die

but i will rise

and i will return

the phoenix from the flame

i have learned

i will rise

and you'll see me return

being what i am

there is no other troy

for me to burn

and you should've left the light on

you should've left the light on

then i wouldn't have tried

and you'd never have known

and i wouldn't have pulled you tighter

no i wouldn't have pulled you close

i wouldn't have screamed

no i can't let you go

and the door wasn't closed

no i wouldn't have pulled you to me

no i wouldn't have kissed your face

you wouldn't have begged me to hold you

if we hadn't been there in the first place

ah but i know you wanted me to be there oh oh

every look that you threw told me so

but you should've left the light on

you should've left the light on

and the flames burned away

but you're still spitting fire

make no difference what you say

you're still a liar

you're still a liar

you're still a liar
