[Verse 1] I saw a universe inside of your eyes For the first time, I knew where I belonged Every little flaw (flaw) became a work of art (art) I gave you every room inside my heart (Heart-) (Heart-) (Heart-) An ordinary life felt extraordinary with you Thought we were a story time couldn’t erase Two lost souls in electric summer Two lost souls putting heaven into place (Putting heaven into place) Two lost souls and a sky full of shame I would’ve walked through fire just to keep you warm Never saw the lightning hiding in the storm [Pre-Chorus] I thought forever was a promise we could keep Built our dreams on something I believed was deep Now I’m standing where our beautiful world caved in Trying to recognize the life I’m living in [Chorus] You were heaven till you opened up the gates Put my faith in your hands, watched it crumble into hate Built a kingdom in the clouds, watched it fall into the flames Now the angels look away from all the demons I contain Oh, my, my—what a beautiful mistake Gave you everything I was, you gave me hell in its place If love’s a holy war, darling then let the heavens know my name (let the heavens know my name) Angels that envy got nothin’ on the demons in my brain (nothin’ on the demons in my brain) [Breakdown] [Beat strips back. Close, vulnerable vocals.] I gave you the pieces I could barely hold Trusted you with parts of me nobody knows If I gave you heaven, why am I still here Picking through the ashes of the life I thought was real? [Brief silence. Beat returns with a dark bass swell.] [Verse 2] Made something out of nothing, made the mundane feel alive Now I’m staring at the wreckage of the world we built on lies All the little things we dreamed of feel like ghosts I can’t outrun I was busy seeing forever, you were busy coming undone I kept reaching (reaching) for the person that I thought I knew so well Never knew that loving heaven (loving heaven) could feel so much like hell [Pre-Chorus] I thought forever was a promise we could keep Built our dreams on something I believed was deep Now I’m standing where our beautiful world caved in Trying to recognize the life I’m living in [Final Chorus] You were heaven till you opened up the gates Put my faith in your hands, watched it crumble into hate Built a kingdom in the clouds, watched it fall into the flames Now the angels look away from all the demons I contain Oh, my, my—what a beautiful mistake Gave you everything I was, you gave me hell in its place (let the heavens know my name) (nothin’ on the demons in my brain) If love’s a holy war, darling then let the heavens know my name Name- Name- Name- Angels that envy, got nothin’ on the demons in my brain Brain- Brain- Brain- [Instrumental tail — let the last vocal echo fade into silence.]
