I remember it In Dublin in a rainstorm We're sitting in the long grass in summer Keeping warm I remember it Every restless night We were so young then we thought that everything we could possibly do was right Then we move stolen from our very eyes And I wondered where you went to And tell me When did the light die? You will rise You'll return The Phoenix from the flame And we'll learn and we'll rise You'll return Being what you are There is no other Troy For you to burn And I never meant to hurt you I swear I didn't mean those things I said I never meant to do that to you Next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead Oh, and I should love you What do you want to do? Does she need you like I do? Do you love her? Is she good for you? Does she hold you like I do? Do you want me? Should I leave? I know you're always telling me that you love me But just sometimes I wonder if I should believe Oh, I love you God, I love you I'd kill a dragon for you And die
But I will rise and I will return The Phoenix from the flame I have learned I will rise And you'll see me return Being what I am There is no other Troy For me to burn
Well, you should have left the light on You should have left the light on Then I wouldn't have tried You'd never have known And I wouldn't have pulled you tighter No, I wouldn't have pulled you close I wouldn't have screamed Now I can't let you go If the door wasn't closed No, I wouldn't have pulled you to me And I wouldn't have kissed your face You wouldn't have begged me to hold you If we hadn't been there in the first place But I know you wanted me to be there Every look that you threw told me so But you should have left the light on You should have left the light on
And the flame burned away But you're still spitting fire Make no difference what you say You're still a liar You're still a liar You're still a liar
