Civilian - Heaven Lyrics
I think that I would be fine if you left meFine if we end up divorcingPerfectly happy aloneYou think that I’m still the man that you marriedBut something has changed on the insideAnd I’m not who I want to beBecause there’s no gauge for the love we makeNothing’s sacred when nothing’s safeI fear I’ve seen the final tideOf our prime wash into separate seasI thought that you’d be impressed if you met meIf only you’d gotten to know meIf you knew what I knewAnd those days, I would have quickly dismissed youAs you would have passed and not seen meBut somehow it happened thatHeaven opened up her eyesAnd her attention arrested mineA test I could not pay to passAs Heaven stopped me in my tracksGraveyards are filled with disposable menLaying beside all the others that warned themThat steps should be taken and carefully measured with cautionBut laying alone you see that nothing is gainedMen are only hesitant when marching to wars and to gravesTo my shame, my cues have been takenFrom old men who claim their journey wasn’t worth it at allNothing happens the way that it’s supposed toLove doesn’t care if you want to, it’s going to move youSo lean in because I want to breathe what you’re breathingI want to see my reflection, Lovely and HauntingThen I opened up my mouthAnd Lazarus came marching outUpon the tongue of a once dead manThat now is damned to love again
