[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Lie to me, say you were wrong
Like you have too many times
And I'll believe it's not my fault
Like I have too much time

So, hear me now boy, stay alive
'Cause that's the way it should go
And would your maker have opened your eyes if
He preferred them closed?

To feel the weight of summers lost
I'd love to have you near
And all the times we ever crossed
It was just to keep you here

[Verse 2]
To try to be something you are not
Like I have for you and promised to
I know we'll get through this
And won't let you do it, so stop
And make believe that I'm not wrong
'Cause if I was, we'd all be gone!
[Chorus]
Just to feel the weight of summers lost
I'd love to have you here
And all the times we ever crossed
It's just to keep you here
Just to feel the pain of summers lost
I'd love to have you here
And all the times we ever crossed
It was just to keep you here

[Bridge]
Nights without end seem to bleed into days
Try to forget that it turned out this way
I wear the mark of the permanent stain
Not accidentally, I cursed God's good name

I am still mortified, yet believed in a way
That when my days are done, we'd be in the same place
When winters mean brimstone, I set sail for Euphrates
All I can say is it's a goddamn shame!

[Chorus]
That we'd feel the pain of summer's loss
I'd love to have new years
And all the times I've missed my loss
It was just to keep you. just to keep you
Just to keep you here with me!
