So They Say

(Michael Timmins)

She would have given anything
So he asked for her heart
Slowly took it apart
So she says, so she says

He would have carried her anywhere
So she points to the stars
with a cold disregard
so he says, so he says

yet they survive
The collapse before the change
They survive

He would have carried any weight
They climb off his shoulders
to notice he’s older
so I’m told, so I’m told

Yet they survive
The collapse before the change
Yet they survive
The collapse before the change
They survive

She could have buried any wound
just out of view
For a moment or two
So it seems, so it seems

Yet they survived,
the collapse before the change (repeat)
