(Verse 1)

Did you think I wouldn’t fall for it?

I was too young to know what it meant

Rose-colored moon over my bed

Sweet Aphrodite, hold my head

Did you know about it all along

Bittersweet and inescapable

Crowns of violets grown downtown

Sent me crashing without a sound

(Chorus)

But when she speaks

Heaven shakes

I’m sorry for this mess I made again

(Verse 2)

It feels like the stars are falling out of line

You were a goddess left undisguised

With dewy words and a delicate soul

Sent me crashing on mountain oaks

(Interlude)

But when shе speaks

Heaven shakеs

I’m sorry for this mess I made

I’m sorry for this mess I made

I hope you look at me the same again

(Outro)

Never thought it’d be so lonely

I always thought you’d be there for me

Now you’re gone, I guess that I will

Find a way to pass the time on now
