You only, only see dirt on me

and you only, only see the faults

you said you gotta show me

all the lovely ways that you can shine

but you'd only, you'd only see the faults

So I'd show you babylon, and summon the gods

but you'd only, you'd only see the faults

I'd float you to the top and show you the stars

all glowing

 

In this life you know I've loved you 

and I'll keep trying to fill this ground

you know this home can't hold forever

if we keep trying to tear it down

oh you know 

​

you only, only seek what haunts me

and you only, only see the faults

you said you gotta know me

every little strand that is mine

but you know me, I'd only see the faults

so I'd show you my fault lines 

and you'd search for cracks to find

all breaking

​

In this life oh you know I've loved you

and I'll keep trying to fill this ground

you know this home can't hold forever

if we keep trying to tear it down

oh you know

 

true love's a fight

you know it's not the end of the line

so don't worry and don't cry, it's alright

true love's a fire

you know it's not the end of the wire

so don't worry and don't cry, it's alright
