You were burning alive till your tears put out the flames
You were the most beautiful thing cause your scars remained
I still remember when we used to dream too much
And how you walked through life like you never could be touched
We spent our whole lives rejecting everybody's love
And now you're the darkest bird flying with the doves
How I'm trying just to be so strong
But yesterday's paper says you're gone
Now I'm stumbling through these empty streets alone
There's just no sense of right or wrong
Cause yesterday's paper says you're gone
My heart's got no place left now to call a home
So alone
We both kept childhood nightmares closely locked away
In your arms, I felt so safe while the skies were grey
You had a whirlwind of beautiful chaos swirling in your eyes
I was drawn like a moth to a flame taken by surprise
We'd take new paths home to get lost along the way
Passing every fool and freak like a tired old cliche
How I'm trying just to be so strong
But yesterday's paper says you're gone
Now I'm stumbling through these empty streets alone
There's just no sense of right or wrong
Cause yesterday's paper says you're gone
My heart's got no place left now to call a home
So alone
