lyrics

pls

Weren’t you pretty then?
Didn’t we shine?
Wasn’t I so good
That one time?

We had a rhythm, babe
I was moon to your tide
& like every good rhythm
We found the rhyme
But –

Every star burning bright
Goes the way of a rose one night
Flaming out on beauty’s perfect cue

But now I have a pretty little song to sing

Didn’t it hurt so bad?
Cause weren’t we kind?
Before we went cruel,
And forgot how to cry?

Who won the duel babe?
Cause I was shooting blind
You always fired from the hip,
Straight and right
Like –

Chorus

Didn’t we melt the walls?
Set some rooms on fire?
Didn’t we burn the palace down from the inside?

But weren’t we out of hand?
Out of time?
When it went wrong
Baby, didn’t you fly?
Like –

Chorus

Now I have a pretty little song to sing
