By the time this reaches you   We will be a pale gray memory   Of everything I once loved   A still cold heart,   That won’t stop beating.   And by the time you wake up   Bitter, and alone   With nothing but your chemicals   To keep you awake all night   I will be galaxies from here   But I’ll still miss you   So my dear,   Serenade, you’re sleeping with angels tonight   Serenade, I’m sleeping with eyes open wide   Serenade you for the last time.   Well this is more than I deserve   And I know   That I am nothing more   Than a trophy that lost its shine   Your perfect prize   Was just a person after all   And as I watch the ocean swallow up the sun   To set these waves on fire   Will open the sky for us   So I can finally get away   So I can finally find a place where I can be free   (serenade)   Serenade, you’re sleeping with angels tonight   Serenade, I’m sleeping with eyes open wide   Serenade you for the last time.   Serenade, I’m breaking the silence tonight   Serenade, you’re hoping the feeling will die   Serenade you for the last time.   So take your leave,   I’ll take my time   Your lips are shaking   And your eyes, they are afraid to meet mine   How fast you break from who you are   The part of me you loved   Is now the hand that rips us apart   Go change your face,   Go change your heart   Go find your place   And put an end to this all   And when you find   You’re back where you began   There will be nothing left   There will be nothing left   So just remember that this   Is how you wanted it   Now just remember   It’s exactly how you wanted it all   Serenade, you’re sleeping with angels tonight   Serenade, I’m sleeping with eyes open wide   Serenade you for the last time.   Serenade, I’m ending this story tonight   And you, you will be sleeping with your demons and lies   Serenade you for the last time
