Troy

Lyrics

I'll remember it in Dublin in a rainstorm
 And sitting in the long grass in summer, keeping warm
 I'll remember it, every 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
 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
 ♪
 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, 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 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've left the light on
 You should've left the light on
 Then I wouldn't have tried, and 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!"
 And 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
 Ah, 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
