1943

Oooo ooo
We fell hard in a room full of music
That old record player spinnin' fifties tunes
Who knew love would bloom from it
Or eventually it would all turn blue
We worked hard and played even harder
Saw sides of each other no one else did
We wore masks so no one would bother
Or question things as much as I did

My heart was inflamed, stitched with your name
You made every single thing in my world change
You led, I followed, my innocence I swallowed
To stand up taller next to you

Oh, it's so hard to go
When you're in time not to leave
Forever I would've stayed with you In our hopeless tragedy
Oh, it's so hard to go
When you're taught not to leave
But I guess that's just how things must be
When you're 19 and 43

Mhmm

We played the roles and kept sins quiet
Shared the weight of a world that was far from right
(That was far from right, that was far from right)
Convinced me being more than second would cause a goddamn riot
So as always I sat still and quiet and tight
But in the privacy of green walls
You made me feel like I was all you ever wanted
Funny as soon as the other one calls
You're quick to hide our reality so haunted

My soul, it was drained, in your hands it laid
You made every single thing in the world change
You yelled and I cried as I held all our lies
Close enough to keep you

Oh, it's so hard to go
When you're taught not to leave
Forever I would've stayed with you In our hopeless tragedy
Oh, it's so hard to go
When you're taught not to leave
But I guess that's just how things must be
When you're 19 and 43

At 19, anything seems like a 'why not'
Forty-three, lack of maturity made you not stop
Built up walls to block us in
As you taught and molded me to fit and
No matter how tight the space it would become
All of my trust and need in you, it was

Made me into all that you would need
Just to leave me, leave me, leave me
Leave me
Leave me
Oh, it's so hard to go
When you're taught not to leave
Even now I still believe
For you I would abandon me

Oh, it's so hard to go
When you've taken all of me
But I guess that's just how things must be
When you're 19 and 43
