Troy

Sinead O'Connor

7

I remember it

In Dublin in a rainstorm

We're sitting in the long grass in summer

Keeping warm

I remember it

Every restless night

We were so young then we thought that everything we could possibly do was right

Then we move stolen from our very eyes

And I wondered where you went to

And tell me

When did the light die?

You will rise

You'll return

The Phoenix from the flame

And we'll learn and we'll rise

You'll return

Being what you are

There is no other Troy

For you to burn

And I never meant to hurt you

I swear I didn't mean those things I said

I never meant to do that to you

Next time I'll keep my hands to myself instead

Oh, and I should love you

What do you want to do?

Does she need you like I do?

Do you love her?

Is she good for you?

Does she hold you like I do?

Do you want me?

Should I leave?

I know you're always telling me that you love me

But just sometimes I wonder if I should believe

Oh, I love you

God, I love you

I'd kill a dragon for you

And die

But I will rise and I will return

The Phoenix from the flame

I have learned

I will rise

And you'll see me return

Being what I am

There is no other Troy

For me to burn

Well, you should have left the light on

You should have left the light on

Then I wouldn't have tried

You'd never have known

And I wouldn't have pulled you tighter

No, I wouldn't have pulled you close

I wouldn't have screamed

Now I can't let you go

If the door wasn't closed

No, I wouldn't have pulled you to me

And I wouldn't have kissed your face

You wouldn't have begged me to hold you

if we hadn't been there in the first place

But I know you wanted me to be there

Every look that you threw told me so

But you should have left the light on

You should have left the light on

And the flame burned away

But you're still spitting fire

Make no difference what you say

You're still a liar

You're still a liar

You're still a liar
