​iv. love always leaves you in the end

BECKETT
​so many nights i’d wake up with a scream in my throat
​swallow it down
​let my love sleep

​try to remember a time when my mind was clean
​and the darkness tucked away

​my father and i
​playing matchbox cars
​building towers and cities out of books

​my love and i
​cuddling on the couch
​building a life out of fantasy

​but love never lasts;
​love always leaves you in the end
​love never lasts;
​love always leaves you in the end

BECKETT, SUSAN & SADIE
​love always leavеs you
​and love always leaves you
​and lovе always leaves you in the end
BECKETT
​either the one you that you love slips away
​sinks into the ground
​or into the crowd

​or the love in your heart falls apart
​withers and wanes

​my mother at the window
​in a new black dress
​pouring the bottles down the drain

​my love and i
​watching the ticking clock
​pouring our hearts out for nothing

​the way she looked at me
​as her hand pressed on my knee;
​i won't let anyone
​feel like that again

​and if i have to be
​all alone that’s what i’ll be
​i can shut out all this darkness and pain

BECKETT, SUSAN & SADIE
​love always leaves you
​and love always leaves you
​and love always leaves you in the end
BECKETT
​and if i can shut the door
​i won’t feel like this anymore

​love always leaves you in the end
