This Too Shall Pass

I know I told you I only called to say goodnight That's not the whole truth When last night I was up 'till five Two hours in my head then Six with you in my dreams After the four I wish were more than through just phone screens She opens space when she knows I'm hurt I speak my mind to everyone But only speak my heart to her Maybe I'm foolish Or maybe that's how falling works Don't want to lose this But I can't be what she deserves I'll make excuses to steal a moment from her day She gives in too quick When she knows she should stay away No force could stop me And still these memories replay She'll break me softly With every time she speaks my name I'll bite my tongue as if you don't know Everyday you fill my thoughts I get caught in thinking things I'll never show I couldn't tell her The way that I could be myself She said words can't explain what's only ever meant to be felt And when you're falling I'm beside you You love the stars as much as I do And broken hearts they fall in line too You tear me away from my sordid past But you shouldn't stay, that's too much to ask 'Cause I know it hurts you, I played that part But it won't last Honey this too shall pass She'll come to find me On days when I could disappear Leave it behind me The times my mind is so unclear Baby don't mind me But it's better when you're near We're a city apart, sitting in the dark And I can hear your heart from here Don't play the fool I know you feel the same I'm scared we'll never be when it's up to me And I just can't keep you safe You keep me stressless My worries they just fly away Meet me for breakfast And don't leave each other's eyes all day I can't stop you falling from beside you You love the stars as much as I do And broken hearts go where I find you You tear me away from my sordid past But you shouldn't stay, that's too much to ask 'Cause I know it hurts you, I played that part But it won't last Honey this too shall pass This too shall pass And if you went back now, would you let me in Knowing I'd fall just as hard again Or let time forget our night of wine and feelings Breath on my neck, girl we're more than friends Would you never know how I must pretend Worried my love for you just won't end I don't know your kiss but could you miss that feeling My lips on your skin You tear me away from my sordid past But baby don't stay, girl I'd never ask 'Cause I know I hurt you, I played that part But it won't last You tear me away from my sordid past But baby don't stay, that's too much to ask 'Cause I know it hurts you, I played that part But it won't last This too shall pass This too shall pass
