i tried to write a ballad

See me at my window looking outside

Not thinking 'bout much just how nice

It would be if we could learn to fly

♪

Same apples on the counter

Been weeks but I never ask, cause

It seems like everything's a task for you

♪

Don't look too sad

I don't want your goodbyes

I'm only here for the night

And I promise I'm not lying

Not this time

Don't look too sad

I don't want your goodbyes

I'm only here for the night

And I promise I'm not lying

Not this time

♪

Only here for the night not lying

Only here for the night not buying

Only here for the night not lying

Only here for the night not buying

Only here for the night not lying

Only here for the night not buying

Only here for the night not lying

Only here for the night not buying

Only here for the night not lying

Only here for the night not buying

Only here for the night not lying

Only here for the night not buying

Only here for the night not lying

Only here for the night not buying

Only here for the night not lying

In a different world you would know me

Like the back of the hand that you're holding

Walking through a city we tolerate

♪

But for now, you're too scared

And I'm too goddamn aware of

Every little thing

Don't look too sad

(Don't look too sad now)

I don't want your goodbyes

I'm only here for the night

(Every little thing)

And I promise I'm not lying

Not this time

Don't look too sad

(Don't look too sad now)

I don't want your goodbyes

I'm only here for the night

And I promise I'm not lying

Not this time

Doing figure 8s with our eyes

And watching you at night

Feels like poetry

Ooh

Cross my heart and hope to die

Doesn't even feel like a compromise

Feels like poetry

Ooh
