lyrics
She takes old photos down off of her wall
One with a distant soul that she used to know
3 years ago
You cut it out when you learned about
That 12 year old boy who you used know who you let bleed out
He said, "Lily, please will you stay with me? My life is cancerous and I want to be with someone I love. Will you plant this seed? My grandma gave it to me when I was three."
Now he is gone
20 years, 30 years, 40 years fly
Every choice she's ever made has been a waste of time
What's the point in finding love when you realize that everyone you'll come to know eventually dies
They're all dead
One with a distant soul that she used to know
3 years ago
You cut it out when you learned about
That 12 year old boy who you used know who you let bleed out
He said, "Lily, please will you stay with me? My life is cancerous and I want to be with someone I love. Will you plant this seed? My grandma gave it to me when I was three."
Now he is gone
20 years, 30 years, 40 years fly
Every choice she's ever made has been a waste of time
What's the point in finding love when you realize that everyone you'll come to know eventually dies
They're all dead
