Tears well up in my face while I write this
Thinking 'bout the day that we met and I reminisce
Thinking 'bout the things I love about you that I might not miss
Then I think about our first and our last kiss
Yeah, I knew it was time to let you go
But I hugged you just this afternoon
And I didn't want to let you know
So I didn't, I couldn't, I wouldn't
And I contemplated reasons why I shouldn't
We're so used to living in a five-star prison, it's sad
I feel so trapped
This is better for the both of us, I know it
This is my only way to show it, so I, so I sing
Hush now little baby 'cause the
Bells' been breaking lately and that's why
The cradles on the branches and we're out of second chances
Say goodnight
Don't you, don't you cry
This is our lullaby
Ink smears and the tears dry on my face
You smile but your eyes can't light a day
You wanna ask me if something's wrong
But the words got caught on your tongue like a knot
'Cause we already did the damage now
Too deep for a bandage now
No hope for the lost and found
And we can't keep going 'cause we don't know how, shit
I know it's time to leave
But we'll keep our memories
I took a piece of you, but, god damn, you took a piece of me
We'll trace the shape of each other in our next love
Tryna put the puzzle back together like it once was
Might be hard to do 'cause no-one's you
Hush now little baby 'cause the
Bells' been breaking lately and that's why
The cradles on the branches and we're out of second chances
Say goodnight
Don't you, don't you cry
This is our lullaby
Something's I wrong, I'm feeling this lately
Can't go on, it's draining me, baby
Cut the ties, shut your eyes
Now's the time, say goodbye
Don't you, don't you cry
This is our lullaby
