Past Of A Saint We Were Thieves
"We were just kids"
...at least that's what we knew we'd say
Old enough to know better
Smart enough to know that we didn't have to
Stupid enough to think it didn't matter
And vain enough to think
It never would
We were living stolen lives
But it was only time
Someone found us out-
Someone had to pay
And you were dead either way
I keep living a stolen life
I live
Because I let you die
I thought I'd hear you
Call me in the darkness
I always thought I'd see you at my worst-
My most desperate
But I never dreamed I'd see you
In the summer
In the bluest skies I'd ever seen
In perfect places with strange names
A moon so bright
I didn't need a flame
In beautiful words I didn't understand
I still see you
Reaching out your hand
In the quietest times
When I realize just how lucky
I have been
When I let myself be happy, if only for a moment
(Pray for me)
And I know
Didn't deserve it
