Lightning

Keep your distance
Do what makes sense
You know how this will end
Don't look, don't touch
Don't push your luck
Quickly gained, quickly lost

'Cause I drank from all the poisoned wells
At night, now I'm poisonous myself
I try to reverse that all the time

I would be, I would be lightning in your sky
All of me, all of me, an ephemeral high
Fleeting like time
I'd vanish like a whisper, disappearing right before your eyes
All of me, all of me would be oh so cruel
Devastation strikes every time I move
You'd never forget me, no
But lightning never lasts for long

Don't you dare cry
The past went by
I still cry all the time 'cause (I still cry all the time)
What do you do when your failures are immortalized?
When they're all over town on big signs
My big lies, my big fights

If you asked the people from my past
They'd say, "Stay away from her cold heart"
Oh well, give the people what they want

I would be, I would be lightning in your sky
All of me, all of me, an ephemeral high
Fleeting like time
I'd vanish like a whisper, disappearing right before your eyes
All of me, all of me would be oh so cruel
Devastation strikes every time I move
You'd never forget me, no
But lightning never lasts for long (It's lightning)
We would never last for long (Like lightning)

I'm the fable, I'm the saga, I'm the great myth
I'm the legend and the lore, I'm Atlantis
Have you not heard of the lost girls?
We'll take you to Neverland, then never come back
I'm the relic, I'm the ruins, I'm the madness
I'm the story that you tell just to tell it
Have you not heard of the lost girls?
We'll take you to Neverland and never come back
Never come back
Who would want that?
Would you want that?

I would be, I would be
All of me, all of me
Fleeting like time
Oh-oh-oh

All of me, all of me (Oh-oh)
Never forget me (Oh-oh)
We would never last for long (We would, we would)
Would we ever last for long? (We would, we would)
You and I could last for long (Keep your distance)
You and I could last for long (You know how this will end)
