The split second of bittersweet happiness you get when you realize that nothing will ever feel this way, ever again.

lyrics

LYRICS:

Always waiting for a fairytale
A place unreal but we believed it
“Hold my hand and I can take you there”
I gripped as tight as you would let me

Do you feel it far away?
When you close your eyes you can see paradise
Do you hear that melody
Is it everything you hoped?
Oh no no no

Tease me
Say you’ll never leave me
Does it feel like our time
Was a fantasy place
Now you can’t
Release —
—me
Say you’ll never leave me
Do you feel it inside
Coming to an ending
Perfect and pretend

:::Whispers:::
All the
Things your ever said
They’re
Stuck inside my head
Its
All around me now
Were
way up in the clouds


Always waiting in the life we wrote
You take the pages right from my heart
Following to who knows where you lead
Your voice was sad as you assured me


Do you feel it far away?
When you close your eyes, am the one by your side?
Now you hear those bells ring
Do you hear that empty tone?
Oh no no no


Chorus 2

Tease me
Say you’ll never leave me
Does it feel like our time
Was a fantasy place
Now you can’t
Release —
—me
Say you’ll never leave me
Do you feel it inside
Coming to an ending
Perfect and pretend

Bridge

And we feel the feathers coming
And they tear away our flesh
And we both make up excuses
For the blood and pain and our wings, a mess

Way above and so high up
We can’t imagine falling, (can we?)
Was it ever good enough?
Believing we’re in heaven?


Chorus

Tease me
Say you’ll never leave me
Does it feel like our time
Was a fantasy place
Now you can’t
Release —
—me
Say you’ll never leave me
Do you feel it inside
Coming to an ending
Perfect and pretend
