 Group 1
I’m drunk in the back of the ------
And I cried like a -------
coming home from the ------
Said, “I’m -----" but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep ------- just to keep ------
You knew it still ------- underneath my --------
From when they pulled me apart
But what you did was just as -------
Darling, this was just as ----------
As when they pulled me apart
I'm drunk in the back of the car
And I cried like a baby
coming home from the bar
Said, "I’m fine" but it wasn't true
I don't wanna keep secrets just to keep you
You knew it still hurts underneath my scars
From when they pulled me apart
But what you did was just as dark
Darling, this was just as hard
As when they pulled me apart
 Group 2

We were a fresh page on the ------ We were a fresh page on the desk
Filling in the -------- as we go Filling in the blanks as we go
As if the --------- pointed in an arrowhead As if the streetlights pointed in an arrowhead
Leading us -------- Leading us home

Your braids like a ---------- Your braids like a pattern

Love you to the --------- and to Love you to the moon and to Saturn
-------- Passed down like folk songs
Passed down like ------- songs The love lasts so long
The --------- lasts so long
 Group 3
I'd kiss you as the -------- went out
Swaying as the room burned down
I'd hold you as the -------- rushes in
If I could ------- with you again
It feels like a perfect -------
to dress up like --------
And make fun of our -------
It feels like a perfect ---------
for breakfast at midnight
To fall in love with ---------
I'd kiss you as the lights went out
Swaying as the room burned down
I'd hold you as the water rushes in
If I could dance with you again
It feels like a perfect night
to dress up like hipsters
And make fun of our exes
It feels like a perfect night
for breakfast at midnight
To fall in love with strangers

New money, ---- and ------ New money, suit and tie

Ain't it funny, -------- fly Ain't it funny, rumors fly
And I know you heard about ------ And I know you heard about me

All my flowers grew back as -------- All my flowers grew back as thorns
Windows boarded up after the storm Windows boarded up after the storm
He built a fire just to keep me --------- He built a fire just to keep me warm

All the ------- queens taking swings All the drama queens taking swings
All the jokers dressing up as --------- All the jokers dressing up as kings
They fade to nothing when I look at him They fade to nothing when I look at him
 Group 5

I lived like an ------,

I lived like an island,
punished you with --------
punished you with silence
Went off like --------,
Went off like sirens,
just crying
just crying
Why'd I have to ------ what I love so much?
Why'd I have to break what I love so much?

I knew ------ I knew you

Leaving like a --------- Leaving like a father
Running like ---------- Running like water
When you are ------ they When you are young they
assume you know nothing assume you know nothing
 They aren't gonna help us
Too busy helping themselves
They aren't gonna change this
We gotta do it ourselves
They think that it's over
But it's just begun
Only one thing can save us

Only the young
