[Verse 1]
Let's give it a night, for counting all these jumping sheep
And counting all the reasons for these little secrets you always keep
And with this night all to myself, all I can picture is you with someone else
But something we have in common, our hearts are beating just the same
[Chorus]
I need to hear those words on the last pages of every book
I've ever read, in preparation for moments like this
Those painful seven letters, one for every deadly day
That we destroy under the guise of love, when we know in our hearts, "it's over"
[Verse 2]
Like the time that i waited out in the pouring rain
We froze along the sidewalk, waiting for the call of another game
Or, when we drove along the highway wishing for something more
But they say if you love something, you know you should let it go
Now we're cold as icebergs, we started to drift apart
A consequence that we knew right from the start
[Chorus]
I need to hear those words on the last pages of every book
I've ever read, in preparation for moments like this
Those painful seven letters, one for every deadly day
That we destroy under the guise of love, when we know in our hearts, "it's over"
[Bridge]
Bring your matches, and burn what's standing in the way
A thousand things to talk about, but a lack of meaningful things to say
Jealousy in different forms, all manifest into something more
There's nothing left for you to still believe
(Lie to me)
[Chorus]
I need to hear those words on the last pages of every book
I've ever read, in preparation for moments like this
Those painful seven letters, one for every deadly day
That we destroy under the guise of love, when we know in our hearts, "it's over"
[End]
So say goodbye to all the lies we said we'd never tell
Say goodbye to all the late night conversations
Say goodbye to all the thin plans of a white veil
Cause this goodbye was never written in the constellations
