In one hundred years, when I’m gone and buried
My lonely bones, they will still carry
The glow from being loved by you
Exactly how we were supposed to
If I hold on to this sadness always
I never have to say goodbye to those days
If I squeeze it real tight, then it just might
Turn into a diamond and light up my nights
So I’ll hold on to hope and keep it in the pocket
of the coat that I moved to the back of my closet
that I would’ve worn forever, if only it fit
If only I wasn’t far too small for it
And as we separate and go our separate ways
I just ache to not hear your voice every day
My heart breaks to never know if you’re okay;
the mistakes and the pains that get in your way
We fell into a love where we didn’t belong
Can still dance to a beat when you don’t know the song
The room was on fire and I should’ve dashed
But we stayed and slow danced ’till we crumbled in ash
So as I retreat and admit defeat
All the love I gave is yours to keep
To have and to hold or throw into the blue
Like the diamond ring I just never turned into
Lonely bones
