Ruby, don’t be so scared

I love the way you shine

Sing me songs about death

Remind me of our time

Don’t let it slip into the night

If you close your eyes, i’ll be there

And now I wonder how the world could be so cruel

She was just 17,

you don’t know what I mean

I would listen for days

She played her heart in ways nobody ever dreamt to play

We sing songs so melancholic and right

Turn out the darkness, step into the light.

Ruby

Don’t leave

This world needs sadder songs

Ruby

You’ll see

This life needs someone strong

How can anyone survive?

I hope you’ve got this song with you tonight

Ruby

Don’t leave

This world needs sadder songs

Ruby

You’ll see

This life needs someone strong

How can anyone survive?

I hope you’ve got this song with you tonight

Tonight…
