Bright Lights and Cityscapes

Hold my breath and I'll count to ten I'm the paper and you're the pen You fill me in, you are permanent And you leave me to dry I'm the writer and she's the muse I'm the one that you always choose She will falter and gift her blame And it starts all over again, again, again, again, again She is bright lights and cityscapes And white lies and cavalcades And she'll take all you ever have But I'm gonna love you You say, "Maybe it'll last this time" But I'm gonna love you You'd never have to ask I'm gonna love you 'til you start looking back I'm gonna love you so right I wouldn't need a second chance, mmm Shield your eyes from the truth at hand Tell me why it'll be good again All those demons are closing in And I don't want you to burn Never mind what I said before I don't want any less anymore You are carbon and I am flame I will rise and you will Remain For bright lights and cityscapes And landslides and masquerades And she'll take all you ever have But I'm gonna love you You say, "Maybe it'll last this time" But I'm gonna love you You'd never have to ask I'm gonna love you 'til you start looking back I wouldn't need a second chance (I wouldn't need a second chance) I wouldn't need a second chance (I wouldn't need a second chance) I wouldn't need a second chance (I wouldn't need a second chance) I wouldn't need a second chance
