Saints Don’t Stay (Resurrection Edition)

Your picture's face-down on the shelf I turn it over when I'm

weak Funny how I know your silence Better than I know your

speech

Every time I close the door I leave the hallway light for

you Like some part of me still thinks You'll come walking through

I know this ending I know every line

So why do I keep

Rewinding mine? SAINTS DON'T STAY And ghosts don't change

We keep calling this love Just to give it a name You

pull me close I pull away

We were beautiful once

But saints don't stay

You know exactly when to call

Like you feel me letting go

Three words through a telephone And suddenly I'm back below

We make promises at midnight Morning tears them all apart

Maybe we weren't meant forever

Maybe we were meant to scar I

know your ending You know mine Still we keep meeting At the

same goodbye

SAINTS DON'T STAY And ghosts don't change We keep calling this love

Just to give it a name You pull me close I pull

away We were beautiful once

But saints don't stay

I miss you.

That's true.

But missing you

Doesn't mean I need you.

I loved you.

That's true too.

Maybe that's exactly Why I'm finally through.

SAINTS DON'T STAY And people change Maybe letting you go

Doesn't cheapen the pain Don't pull me close I'll walk

away We were beautiful once And that's where WE SHOULD

STAY

I can miss you

Without coming back.
