Troy Lyrics

I remember it
Dublin in a rainstorm
sitting in the long grass in summer
keeping warm
I remember it
every restless night
we were so young then we thought that everything we could possibly do was right
every move stolen from our very eyes
I wonder where you went to
and tell me
when did the light die?
you will rise
you'll return
phoenix from the flame
and we will learn and we will rise
you'll return
being what you are
there is no other Troy
for you to burn
and I never meant to hurt you
I swear I 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, and I sure 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
but just sometimes I wonder if I should believe
oh, I love you
God, I love you
I'd kill a dragon for you
and die
but I will rise and 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

and 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
and 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, 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
every look that you threw told me so
but you should have left the light on
you should have left the light on
wouldn't have made it burn 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
