This is the only lonely picture

Waiting on my floor

Littering my shore

This is the last true burning letter

Given to a girl

Written by a boy

Living in a world created to destroy



But if I built you a city, would you let me?

Would you tear it down?



But there you go for the last time

I finally know now what I should have known then

And I could still be ruthless if you'll let me

But there you go and I'm not done

You're waving goodbye, well at least you're having fun

The rising tide will not let you forget me

Forget me



And this is your ghost that kneels before me

Razors on her tongue, a body full of oxygen

It wont be the last time she'll ignore me

The thinning of my skin, without the strength to go

The winter's setting in, to cover you in snow



But if I built you a city, would you let me?

Would you tear it down?



But there you go for the last time

I finally know now what I should have known then

And I could still be ruthless if you'll let me

But there you go and I'm not done

You're waving goodbye, well at least you're having fun

The rising tide will not let you forget me

Forget me

Forget me

Forget me, yeah



And Il'l raise towers and Climb them

Rivers and walk them

Oceans to drown in

You won't make a sound in



But there you go for the last time

I finally know now what I should have known then

And I could still be ruthless if you'll let me

But there you go and I'm not done

You're waving goodbye, well at least you're having fun

The rising tide will not let you forget me

Forget me
