Troy

I remember it
In Dublin in a rainstorm
Sitting in the long grass in the summer
Keeping warm
I remember it
That restless night
We were so young then
We thought that everything
We could possibly do was right

Then we moved
Stolen from our very eyes
And I wondered where you went to
And tell me, when did the light die
You will rise
You'll return
The phoenix from the flame
You will learn
You will rise
You'll return
Being what you are
There is no other Troy
For you to burn

I never meant to hurt you
I swear
Didn't mean those things I said
I never meant to do that to you
Next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead

Oh, does she love you
What do you want to do?
Does she need you like I do?
Do you love her?
Is she good for you?
Does she hold you like I do?

Do you want me?
Should I leave?
I know you're always telling me
That you love me
Just sometimes I wonder
If I should believe
Oh, I love you
God, I love you
I'd kill a dragon for you
I’ll die

But I will rise
I will return
The Phoenix from the flame
I have learned
I will rise
And you'll see me return
Being what I am
There is no other Troy
For me to burn

Well, you should have left the light on
You should have left the light on
Then I wouldn't have tried
You'd never have known
Oh, I wouldn't have pulled you tighter
No, I wouldn't have pulled you close
I wouldn't have screamed
'No I can't let you go'
If the door wasn't closed

No I wouldn't have pulled you to me
No I wouldn't have kissed your face
You wouldn't have begged me to hold you
If we hadn't been there in the first place
But I know you wanted me to be there oh oh
Every look that you threw told me so

But you should’ve left the light on
You should’ve left the light on
And the flames burned away
But you're still spitting fire
Make no difference what you say
You're still a liar
You're still a liar
You're still a liar
