The last words you spoke
Fell from flaming lips
Like an ember
I'd hoped that we'd meet again
But stormy nights like these
Help me remember

Must I let you go
Leaving me alone
I could cry but I'll say nice to meet you

It's written on a face still stained with hope
Reading all the poetry I never wrote lights the bed on fire
And I'm burning
Seeing the demise dripping from your eyes
Watch the tears fill a cup full of compromise as the angel sighs
So unwise

Must I let you go
Leaving me alone
I'll hide my eyes as I say nice to meet you

Everything you wish you could erase
Memories you wish you could replace
You take all the blame but you would never take my place

Now that we're outside
I should say goodbye
Instead I'll lie and say it's oh so very nice to meet you

C'mon
I should say goodbye but
I should say goodbye but
I'll just say it's oh so very nice to meet you
