I  can only say these things to you when you're sleeping
I hear the hum from the wires and the sounds of the morning creep in
I lie awake and pretend you can hear me

And you tell me that you're scared your turning into your mother
And I feel myself turn into my father
As we lie to each other like they do and say so happy
It's easy when you're young and you still want it so badly

I turn over again and I feel my heart beating faster
I stare out the window and I think that I might scream

I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear
And I can utter every word you've ever hope to hear
But I shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever

And the time we were alone together at the station
you were so quiet like a child and you told me you want to be taken
I never thought you as the kind of girl that would do that
I'd be lying if I said that I didn't find it exciting
Your eyes all wet and your face so warm and inviting

I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear
And I can utter every word you've hope to hear
Shudder when I think that I might not be here forever, forever, forever

I'd tell you that I'm always going to love you the virgin bride you were that night
But I'd be lying
Love is defying

All I could think is that there must be a kind of rebellion
So on these fears like soldiers and slay them.

I can tell you that you're all I ever wanted, dear
Through the dead while you breath sleeping in here
Waken and you ask me if I'm going to be here forever, forever, forever

Your face so twisted and your eyes are light
I want to tell i can save you when you cry at night
But I'd be trying
Love is defying
Won't you stop crying
