all's fair in love and lyrics.

Chandeliers - Ceiling Stars

everybody knows you never slept once this summer
but here we are
two more semesters and two thousand more mistakes
when, all's fair in love and lyrics
shatter the heart you couldn't break

tonight I burn this building
this bedroom, these ceiling stars
and journals we had saved
(you hate them anyway)

I tried to feel for you
but now there's something in the way
all's fair in love and lyrics
shatter the heart you couldn't break

sparks ignite the tiny fire
I'm holding in my hands
brought to my lips with each desire
to carry out my plans

the rise and fall
of lungs inside my chest
are filling out
with all the poison I have left

the wedding bells are fading out
and the year we spent together I would rather forget now
the rise and fall
of lungs inside a chest
are calling out
for the moment that our bodies felt

call it what you like
you can hide the knife away
call it what you like
but the scars are here to stay

the room we knew is coming down
the nights we had are ashes now
back and forth the medics try to
save us from the flames

everybody knows you never slept once this summer
but here we are
two more semesters and two thousand more mistakes
well, all's fair in love and lyrics
shatter the heart you couldn't break
