I had a bad hab it
of miss ing lov ers past.
My broth er used to call it
eat ing out of the trash: “It’s nev er gon na last.” I thought my house was haunt ed:
I used to live with ghosts.
And all the per fect cou ples
said, “When you know, you know, and when you don’t, you don’t.”
And all of the foes and all of the friends
have seen it be fore.
They’ll see it a gain.
Life is a song.
It ends when it ends.
I was wrong.
But my ma ma told me, “It’s al right.
You were danc ing through the light ning strikes,
sleep less in the on yx night.
But now the sky is o pa lite.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, my Lord nev er made no one like you be fore.
You had to make your own sun shine.
But now the sky is o pa lite.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.” You could n’t un der stand it,
why you felt a lone.
You were in it for real.
She was in her phone, and you were just a pose.
And don’t we try to love love?
We give it all we’ve got.
You fi n’lly left the ta ble,
and what a sim ple thought: you’re starv ing till you’re not.
And all of the foes and all of the friends
have messed up be fore.
They’ll mess up a gain.
Life is a song.
It ends when it ends.
You move on.
And that’s when I told you, “It’s al right.
You were danc ing through the light ning strikes,
sleep less in the on yx night.
But now the sky is o pa lite.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, my Lord nev er made no one like you be fore.
You had to make your own sun shine.
But now the sky is o pa lite.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, This
is just a storm in side a tea
cup; but shel ter here with me,
my love.
Thun der like a drum.
This life will beat you up, up, up, up.
This
is just a tem po rar y speed
bump.
But fail ure brings you free
dom, and that can bring you
(love,
love,
love.)
Love.
Don’t you sweat it, ba by.
It’s al right.
You were danc ing through the light ning strikes, oh, so sleep less in the on yx night.
But now the sky is o pa lite.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, my Lord nev er made no one like you be fore.
No, you had to make your own sun shine.
And now the sky is o pa lite.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.”
