Lyrics

You cross the bridge it's such a lovely sight
On either side men do
Things like smoke, and drink, and criticize,
Just like any guy
Who thinks he's better than the other
And on most days I barrel down the street
Just as guilty, of arrogance and absent-mindedness
That pulls me towards some silly task
Each meaning less and less
But I still keep playing out these habits
And I don't want you
To pretend you love me
The flame dies for most of us
Drinking tea alone
On the Bosphorus
The city speaks in tongues that ostracize
Foreign fables fright, harass too
With each new day that I spend wandering wide
All this aimless time only amounts to resentment
It's been so long since I've been honest and
Now alone again and
So distant from what we once shared
But when the truth runs dry just wipe your eyes
And embrace the lie
Reaching further for another's hand
And I don't want you
To pretend you love me
The flame dies for most of us
Drinking tea alone
On the Bosphorus
I guess I should've known
That this could never hold
All our expectations
But we tried
