[01:17.15]I wish I could, but I can't rest as easy as you. [01:26.40]I never really could anyway. [01:29.51]And thoughts of the future make me worry. [01:44.01]Heart, settle down! [02:02.80]This isn't your last day. [02:11.01]You'll wake up tomorrow. [02:27.41]This bedroom never gets to see the light of day. [02:30.65]The shades are always drawn completely and it only ever seems to come alive at night. [02:34.71]I took you here to take you from yourself once. [02:36.92]And you smiled at me. [02:38.35]You smiled shamelessly and often then. [02:40.56]But it wasn't enough. [02:42.09]I read your thoughts like sifting through your cabinets while you were out of the room. [02:45.46]I stole every treasured thought that you had [02:47.46]And left you gutted when I could find no more. [02:49.61]You had poems written on the roof of your mouth. [02:51.83]And I had scraped them out with the tip of my tongue [02:53.90]And spat them onto the floor, [02:55.74]Where they dried up and blew away. [02:57.45]And the butterflies in your stomach were all pinned to the skin on the inside. [03:00.78]And if didn't love you then, I love you now. [03:03.23]But it's easy to love something when there's pain in its eyes. [03:08.72]This isn't your last day, you'll wake up tomorrow. [03:20.63]This isn't your last day, you'll wake up tomorrow. [03:34.19]So I pull the shades back, [03:36.07]Let the light pour in through every crack I slammed into the window. [03:42.68]Will the good parts stay in limbo? [03:46.44]Why can I only remember when you said you'd love me better if I left? [03:53.96]And not the way you said, a thousand times, that if I left you'd die?
