Joshua Meier - Blood Ballet lyrics

[Verse 1] Say it's not so Say your heart it wrote me letters all the time Say it sealed them up and with your breath did sign Them all away [Verse 2] Say that your notes They were no forgery, you meant them every line Some in meter, some in verse, and some in rhyme Tell me you meant every word [Post-Chorus 1] You could cut my knees and leave me at the door I'd still pick all your memories off our dusty floor If you'd stay If you'd stay [Chorus] Darling, just a little while Darling, just a little while Darling, just a little while [Verse 3] Tell me how you are And I'll write a song for every feeling I can't name Like we were dancing in a f**ing blood ballet It was a ma**acre [Verse 4] How'd you get away? 'Cause oh, good heavens we abided by the night But there are darker things than the absence of light And they still creak through our halls [Post-Chorus 2] I would build a city out of you and me There would be crime, but still a local grocery If you'd stay If you'd stay [Chorus] Darling, just a little while Darling, just a little while Darling, just a little while [Outro] A little while A little while A little while Darling, just a little while
