Lullaby

Tears well up in my face while I write this

This is our lullaby

Thinking 'bout the day that we met and I reminisce

Thinking ’bout the things I love about you that I might have missed

Then I think about our first and our last kiss

Yeah, I knew it was time to let you go

But I hugged you just this afternoon

And I didn't want to let you know

So I didn't, I couldn't, I wouldn't

And I contemplated reasons why I shouldn't

We're so used to living in a five-star prison, it's sad

I feel so trapped

This is better for the both of us

I know it

And this is my only way to show it

So I So I Sing

Hush now little baby 'cause the bells' been breaking lately and that's why

The cradles on the branches and we’re out of second chances

Say goodnight

Don’t you, don't you cry

Ink smears and the tears dry on my face

You smile but your eyes can’t light a day

You wanna ask me if something's wrong

But the words got caught on your tongue like a knot

'Cause we already did the damage now

Too deep for a bandage now

No hope for the lost and found

And we can't keep going ’cause we don't know how,****

I know it's time to leave

But we'll keep our memories

I took a piece of you, but goddamn, you took a piece of me

We'll trace the shape of each other in our next love

Tryna put the puzzle back together like it once was

Might be hard to do 'cause no-one's you

Hush now little baby 'cause the bells' been breaking lately and that's why

The cradles on the branches and we're out of second chances

Say goodnight

Don't you, don't you cry

This is our lullaby

Something's wrong, I'm feeling this lately

Can't go on, it's draining me, baby

Cut the ties, shut your eyes

Now's the time, say goodbye

Don't you, don't you cry

This is our lullaby
