This is the only lonely picture   Waiting on my floor   Littering my shore   This is the last true burning letter   Given to a girl   Written by a boy   Living in a world created to destroy      But if I built you a city,    Would you let me?   Would you tear it down?      But there you go for the last time   I finally know now what I should have known then   That I could still be ruthless if you let me   But there you go and I'm not done   You're waving goodbye, well at least you're having fun   The rising tide will not let you forget me   forget me      This is your ghost that kneels before me   Razors on her tongue, a body full of oxygen   It wont be the last time she'll ignore me   The thinning of my skin, without the strength to go   The winter's setting in, to cover you in snow      But if I built you a city,    Would you let me?   Would you tear it down?      But there you go for the last time   I finally know now what I should have known then   That I could still be ruthless if you let me   But there you go and I'm not done   You're waving goodbye, well at least you're having fun   The rising tide will not let you forget me      Forget me    Forget me   Forget me, yeah      I'll raise towers and climb them   Rivers and walk them   Oceans to drown in   You won't make a sound in      But there you go for the last time   I finally know now what I should have known then   That I could still be ruthless if you'll let me   But there you go and I'm not done   You're waving goodbye, well at least you're having fun   The rising tide will not let you forget me      ...forget me
