we write our goodbyes
in names and places each day of our lives
this flesh is a road map
we wrap ourselves in days gone by
[chorus:]
but everything fades so fast
every day, every hour, every second, every moment
all I know is every street and every building haunts me now
this is the last night
I know, I swear
all the voices are forgotten hearts and names
this is the last light
all of our memories are haunted now
I see your faces in every street that I leave behind
the empty spaces between these lies I've told to survive
[chorus]
I won't be here when you wake up
by the time you read this I'll be gone
I'll think about you as the sun sinks behind
this haunted city we call home
[chorus]
in names and places each day of our lives
this flesh is a road map
we wrap ourselves in days gone by
but everything fades so fast
every day, every hour, every second, every moment
all I know is every street and every building haunts me now
this is the last night
I know, I swear
all the voices are forgotten hearts and names
this is the last light
all of our memories are haunted now
the empty spaces between these lies I've told to survive
by the time you read this I'll be gone
I'll think about you as the sun sinks behind
this haunted city we call home
