Mayflies
[Verse 1]
I'm wide awake
Colours start to run
Giving in, like I'm staring at the sun
I'm burning up, cause you say that you love
Me, but I know there's a life I'm giving up

[Pre-Chorus]
In another life, like mayflies, we'll take over the sky
In another world, away from here

[Chorus]
I don't wanna talk about it, afraid of what I'm gonna do
I don't wanna let your light in, I've got enough to lose
I don't wanna say it's something, afraid I'm gonna make it true
We'll be lying in the pieces, I've got enough to lose
I've got enough to lose

[Verse 2]
Still awake
Nothing seems to shine
For better days
What will we leave behind?
You're making me choose, but I can't lie
Maybe we're a love for another time
[Pre-Chorus]
In another life, like mayflies, we'll take over the sky
In another world, away from here

[Chorus]
I don't wanna talk about it, afraid of what I'm gonna do
I don't wanna let your light in, I've got enough to lose
I don't wanna say it's something, afraid I'm gonna make it true
We'll be lying in the pieces, I've got enough to lose
I've got enough to lose
I've got enough to lose

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I don't wanna talk about it, afraid of what I'm gonna do
I don't wanna let your light in, I've got enough to lose
I don't wanna say it's something, afraid I'm gonna make it true
We'll be lying in the pieces, I've got enough to lose

[Outro]
I've got enough to lose
I've got enough to lose
I've got enough to lose
I've got enough to lose
I've got enough to lose
