Books and Letters by The Morning Light Lyrics
With your head held high
Pretend that you're alright without me
And I'm better now that I'm without your fears
And I'll write this down, sound it out
And pretend there's something more left in your town
I'll sit through months away from home without you
And 4,000 miles away is all I need
For you to realize what you need
But you're clean cut and exposed
And I've never felt more at home
But I'll pretend there's something more left in your town
I'm falling in and out of love
Finally stopping what we were made of
"Oh, you're done."
By summer I'll have you on your knees
Come August and you'll lie right through your teeth
And it's oh so typical but what I need
I'm writing books through letters
That I'm sure you'll never read
I'm searching through a postcard
To find any trace of me
But you've traded thoughts of me
For this new life that comes cheap
And I can only pray it falls beneath your feet
I'm falling in and out of love
Finally stopping what we were made of
"Oh, you're done."
By summer I'll have you on your knees
Come August and you'll lie right through your teeth
And it's oh so typical but what I need
You're done it's just what I need
(I'm falling in and out of love.)
(You and...) Your violent attempts to come clean
I'm falling in and out of love
Finally stopping what we were made of
"Oh, you're done."
By summer I'll have you on your knees
Come August and you'll lie right through your teeth
And it's oh so typical but what I need
"You're done."
It's just what I need
Pretend that you're alright without me
And I'm better now that I'm without your fears
And I'll write this down, sound it out
And pretend there's something more left in your town
I'll sit through months away from home without you
And 4,000 miles away is all I need
For you to realize what you need
But you're clean cut and exposed
And I've never felt more at home
But I'll pretend there's something more left in your town
I'm falling in and out of love
Finally stopping what we were made of
"Oh, you're done."
By summer I'll have you on your knees
Come August and you'll lie right through your teeth
And it's oh so typical but what I need
I'm writing books through letters
That I'm sure you'll never read
I'm searching through a postcard
To find any trace of me
But you've traded thoughts of me
For this new life that comes cheap
And I can only pray it falls beneath your feet
I'm falling in and out of love
Finally stopping what we were made of
"Oh, you're done."
By summer I'll have you on your knees
Come August and you'll lie right through your teeth
And it's oh so typical but what I need
You're done it's just what I need
(I'm falling in and out of love.)
(You and...) Your violent attempts to come clean
I'm falling in and out of love
Finally stopping what we were made of
"Oh, you're done."
By summer I'll have you on your knees
Come August and you'll lie right through your teeth
And it's oh so typical but what I need
"You're done."
It's just what I need
