Charlotte Lyrics

We met up in a cafe in Vienna when the leaves had turned to gold

She was searching for a ring her mother gave her, was the only thing she owned

And I could tell by the sorrow in her eyes it would be the last time

But in that moment the minutes turned to hours turned to years we'd leave behind

We wandered through the market reminiscing on the nights that we had shared

How we clung to one another in the silence that hung heavy in the air

And each time I kissed her softly drinking in the lingering wine upon her lips

Wondering how many lifetimes it would take another lover to exist

She said if she said she loved she'd be lying

When all good things fracture down the line

It's safer to keep them as a memory

So instead of saying love she just said it'll hurt a long time

She had led me to a place we often went for some temporary warmth

And we talked away the hour taking comfort in the pleasure of the norm

It's a feeling that can only be found in company like this

And the memory of the kindness in her eyes is the hardest thing to miss

She said if she said she loved she'd be lying

When all good things fracture down the line

It's safer to keep them as a memory

So instead of saying love she just said it'll hurt a long time

When the scent of lilacs or the songs we sang are drifting in the air

I swear I'd believe in heaven if it meant a chance in hell that she were there

Sometimes I think about the cafe in Vienna when the leaves had turned to gold

But now the only thing I cling to are the letters that got lost in the post

She said if she said she loved she'd be lying

When all good things fracture down the line

It's safer to keep them in your memory

So instead of saying love she just said

It'll hurt a long time

It'll hurt a long time

It'll hurt a long time

It'll hurt a long time
