Never a Lie. x

I was never a saint... But I needed you close. I’ve walked through nights I can’t erase Hands stained with lies, guilt on my face Lost in the neon, chasing a ghost I hurt the one I needed most Whiskey burns deeper than these scars My shadow talks to midnight stars I never knew how to love you right I only knew how to fight All my scars are screaming your name All my scars are screaming your name Every wrong turn, every ounce of shame No halos, no silver lines Only blood and a vow I can’t unwind My life is yours, take it all tonight I’ll fight the world to keep you alive Clumsy hands, broken vows, endless fights But loving you was never a lie Lost for words, broken and shy You answered me with just a smile In that breath, beneath these skies I finally knew why I’m alive City lights flicker like ghosts we know I wore my guilt everywhere I’d go If they call me a monster, let them all scream Your heartbeat’s the only truth I believe I ain’t a hero, I ain’t a prayer Just a broken soul in the midnight air No glory, no crown, no holy light I’d burn the world to keep you alive My life is yours, take it all tonight I’ll fight the world to keep you alive Through every scar, through endless nights My love for you was never a lie Lost for words, broken and shy You answered me with just a smile In that breath, I finally knew My reason to live was always you No glory... no crown... Just your name... When the lights go down.
