Princess, take your shoes off, let us hate ourselves just once more
Run your fingers through my hair and leave me breathless
Your perfume reeks of fear and bottled tears
Your eyelids flicker telling me no darling please, I don’t want you to leave
I used my Jedi mind tricks on your sweet face
Last december was a mess, I couldn’t eat
And I blame myself
I heard you moved to Oslo, found someone new
And he loves you more than I could ever do
I hope it’s true
Please do not forget me
I’m already alone
Stitch me back together
Maybe i’ll someday be whole
So long my dear, so long my dear
It’s been so long my dear, since my eyes were clear
It’s been a while since someone said
Oh David, cry you heart out in my arms
I’ll swallow every broken promise
Press my lips against your scars
You were drunk and I was lonely
We could have killed for something holy
And for that night to never end
Oh sweetheart I can not pretend like I’m alright
But I won’t bite
Please do forgive me
I’m already alone
Stitch me back together
Don’t think i’ll ever be whole
So long my dear, so long my dear
It’s been so long my dear, since my eyes were clear
