Lyrics Sara Bareilles

Sara Bareilles

Bright Lights and Cityscapes

Hold my breath and I'll count to ten

I'm the paper and you're the pen

You fill me in and you are permanent

And you'll leave me to dry

I'm the writer and she's the muse

And the one that you always choose

She will falter and gift her blame

And it starts all over again

Again again again

She is bright lights and cityscapes

And white lies and cavalcades

And she'll take all you ever have

But I'm gonna love you

You say maybe it'll last this time

But I'm gonna love you

You never have to ask

I'm gonna love you

'Til you start looking back

I'm gonna love you

So right

I wouldn't need a second chance

Shield your eyes from the truth at hand

Tell me why it'll be good again

All those demons are closing in

And I don't want you to burn

Nevermind what I said before

I don't want any less anymore

You are carbon and I am flame

I will rise and you will

Remain

For bright lights and cityscapes

And landslides and masquerades

And she'll take all you ever have

But I'm gonna love you

You say, "Maybe it'll last this time"

But I'm gonna love you

You never have to ask

I'm gonna love you

'Til you start looking back

I wouldn't need a second chance

I wouldn't need a second chance

I wouldn't need a second chance

I wouldn't need a second chance
