a flame burning bright under the moon’s glow

Why do we have to know each other before we meet?

Those tired bodies, skinny eyes
The moment you light up our cigarettes,
I know this will be the next broken heart of mine.

I couldn’t hold my heart, as you couldn’t hold your desire,
Seeing my dress shimmer in the moonlight.
Tell me, did you feel regret
When you saw my blood and tears shed on our bed?

So tell me you love me under this moonlight,
Look at me and my painful eyes.
I don’t care if it’s a lie,
I don’t care if it’s just one night.

Easy comes, easy goes,
Like a flame burning bright under the moon’s glow.
You let me go with a shallow goodbye,
Like I always knew from the start.
You said every moment was built on honesty,
That I had met the “complete” you.
But you didn’t know that everything about me was a lie,
So I wasn’t mad, just accepted it with a sigh.

So tell me you love me under this moonlight,
Look at me and my painful eyes.
I don’t care if it’s a lie,
I don’t care if it’s just one night.
