The Champion Weekend – Firework Midnights lyrics

What makes you feel this way?
I wish I could steal your heart away
To him, you're nothing but a scrape
Upon the surface of a wine glass

Oh, how I dreamt
That nothing was ever the same
All of the nights
I spent around the corner building paper wings

Oh, how I dreamt
Tomorrow would mend your heart
All of the nights
You wrote to me in verses and you promised me the world

It'll change eventually
At least that's what you said to me

Closed my eyes and
Built sedentary foundations
For me to rest
While I extracted the knives from my back

So maybe you could tell me
Exactly what true love means
My definition's by the book
This is abruptly ending
Everything we believe in
Maybe, I am finding out
There was never much to believe in.

Firework midnights
That I've spent with you
Never meant a thing
Because you can't let go
Of the life you lead

Take it out on all your friends
And if you still love him then
I promised I would never hurt you,
Like he did before.
And if it suits you well
You can leave me at a wishing well
With a quarter and a hope
To find another princess just like you...

I would like you to know,
If I could find a dagger
My heart would be the first to go
