  • I saw in my mind fairy lights through the mist

  • I kept calm and carried the weight of the rift

  • Pulled him in tighter each time he was drifting away

  • My spine split from carrying us up the hill

  • Wet through my clothes, weary bones caught the chill

  • I stopped trying to make him laugh, stopped trying to drill the safe

  • Thinking, how much sad did you

  • Think I had, did you

  • Think I had in me, oh, the tragedy

  • So-lo-lo-lo-lo-london, you'll find someone

  • I didn't opt in to be your odd man out

  • I found at the club she's heard great things about

  • I left all I knew, you left me at the house by the heath

  • I stopped CPR, after all it's no use

  • The spirit was gone, we would never come to

  • And I'm pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free

  • For so long, London, stitches undone

  • Two graves, one gun, I'll find someone

  • And you say I abandoned the show

  • But I was going down with it

  • My white knuckle dying grip

  • Holding tight to your quiet resentment

  • And my friend said it isn't right to be scared

  • Every day a love affair

  • Every breath feels like rarest air

  • When you're not sure if he wants to be there

  • So how much sad did you

  • Think I had, did you

  • Think I had in me

  • How much tragedy

  • Just how low did you

  • Think I'd go for I

  • Self implode for I

  • Have to go be free

  • You swore that you loved me but where were the clues

  • I died on the altar waiting for the proof

  • You sacrifice us to the gods of your bluest days

  • And I'm just getting color back into my face

  • I'm just mad as hell cause I loved this place for so long

  • For so long, London, had a good run

  • A moment of the world's sunset

  • But I'm not the one for so long

  • London stitches, London to graves

  • One god, you'll find someone

  • I'm not the one for so long

  • London stitches, London to graves

  • One god, you'll find someone

  • For so long, London, had a good run
