God bless destruction of an ego
The condemnation of your pride
'Cause it's quite freeing to hit the ground
and take it in your stride
Choose what to keep and leave behind
The contradictions that you can't change
Big blackout nights and dark red skies
The imitation of a life you'd love but never tried
Is what you'll hunger for in time

Hold on, don't forget
Careful with words left unsaid
I'll look for you in your Sunday best
And you can remind me it ends

The kind of sex that requires sadness
Is not a way to spend your time
Don't walk on eggshеlls if you're not the shy, retiring kind
Don't bеtray your body or your mind
A declaration of forgiveness
A celebration of desire
The sweet seduction of the sand inside an hourglass
A ticking clock hung on a wire

Hold on, don't forget
Careful with words left unsaid
I'll look for you in your Sunday best
And you can remind me it ends

Keep thinking one day
maybe I will find the beauty in goodbye
See the sweetness in the knowing that we really tried
Stories bought with broken ribs, taste of sugar on your lips
The kind of feeling that you haven't had since were kids
Silver linings in defeat, pavement cracks beneath your feet
The kind of love you hold on to
until you find out what it means
I'm thinking one day
maybe I will find the freedom in goodbye
Find the solace in the promise that you really tried

Hold on, don't forget (I know you really tried)
Careful with words left unsaid
I'll look for you in your Sunday best
And you can remind me it ends
