[Verse 1]
          
A million mile

       
s to a cemeter

y
           
A flower acros

       
s your chest
           
A tear on a sm

           
ile as you pra

y to a sky
           
But it won't b

              
ring back your

 
 breath
            
You know it is

            
n't the love t

        
hat you wish f

or
              
That you were 

           
misinformed as

   
 a child
            
'Cause everyth

             
ing in those b

         
eautiful stori

es
           
Was only a par

         
t of the lie
              
That told you 

          
every tongue t

        
hat you kissed

 was a royal
           
And you know t

              
hat your godmo

     
ther flies
           
And it all see

        
ms so importan

t
            
'Til you're dr

             
ifting off at 


night

[Chorus]
        
And the weight

              
 of your eyes 

         
and your face 

when you cry
            
Make the days 

              
you were young

       
 seem ages ago
             
If you could s

              
tay, would you

  
 go?
             
If you could s

             
tay, would you

  
 go?

[Breakdown]
      
       
       
       

[Post-Chorus]

Four-by-four
        
You build your

Build your own

Build your own

A million mile

And you still 

              
can't find you

Your tears wen

ray to a god
           
But he won't b

              
ring back the 


dead
            
And it was nev

            
er a love that

     
 you wished fo

Even when you

'Cause you kne

              
w everything i

Were only a pa

       
rt of a lie
