Empty moonlight, heavy moon   Puts the sun to bed too soon   Hungry half truths overflows   Betrays the silver ring she chose   Encouraged kisses, teasing touch   Kills a thirst to learn this much   Bliss abandon, velvet trust   An open heart confused by lust   She didn’t need me,    I needed time to just hold on   And so she bleeds me dry   Cannot pretend that I’m that strong      (Chorus)   In a fragile world   I have agile faith   And my fragile bones   Won’t break in haste   So the serpentine girl   With the turpentine words   Won’t light me up, won’t burn me out   Not today      Loving lavished, a lover scorned   Petals red with blood from thorns   Careless promise, empty words   A smile from tears, a grace from curse   Stolen whispers, jealous rain   Wet the lips of truth in vain   Straining anchor, a kiss denied   Builds a dam to hold her lies   She didn’t need me,    I needed time to just hold on   And so she bleeds me dry   Cannot pretend that I’m that strong      (Chorus x2)      It’s my saving grace   It’s my fading grace
