The Long Way Out

I like it when you lay me down slow
Tuck me in, kiss goodnight
Never let me go
Tell me everything is alright before my eyes
What you see makes you cry
The guilt I held inside
Is that why you changed your mind

Black knights, I can't sleep
I don't dream
Look at me
Cold eyes, where's the heat
I can see that you want me to leave

Do you want me to leave
Because I don't wanna leave
Black knights, I can't sleep
I don't dream at all

See the clock spin round
I guess we should have known
We couldn't run away from change
Nothing ever stays the same
So I take the long way out
Take the long way out

This isn't how I thought of our escape
Don't you know what's at stake
I've had all that I can take
I feel our hands separate

Cold nights, counting stars
Feels so far, here we are
Black eyes, hold the dark
Shut your heart out

See the clock spin round
I guess we should have known
I couldn't run away from change
Nothing ever stays the same
Honey if I leave here now
Part of me still won't go
I never wanted this to change
But nothing ever stays the same
So I'll take the long way out
Take the long way out

I don't want there to be
Another piece of me
To feed from
Don't tell me it's not worth giving up
Cuz baby I'll believe you

See the clock spin round
We couldn't run
We couldn't run away from change

Honey if I leave here now
Part of me still won't go
I never wanted this to change
But nothing ever stays the same
So I'll take the long way out
Take the long way out
Slow burn I'm halfway gone
Wrong turn you're moving on
Take the long way out
Take the long way out
