Troy (Sinéad O'Connor) - modified

I'll remember it
and kissing in a rainstorm 

and sitting in the long grass in summer
Keeping warm


I'll remember it
every restless night
we were so young then
we thought that everything
we could possibly do was right

Then we moved
stolen from my very eyes
And I wondered where you went to
Tell me....

when did the light die?

You won't rise
you won't return
a fake phoenix from the flame
(you're a liar)
 but you will learn

                                      You won't rise
                                    you won't return
                                  being what you are
                               there is no other heart
                                      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, does he love you?
                                                          what do you want to do?
                                                     does he need you like I do?
                                                                      do you love him?
                                                                  is he good for you?
                                                      does he hold you like I do?

Do you want me?
 should I leave?
I know you always told me
 that you loved 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
I'll die

 But I will rise
 and I will return
 a dark Phoenix from the flame
I have learned

                                          I will rise
                             and you'll see me return
                                    being what I am
                                there is no other love
                                      for me to burn

And you should've left the light on
you should've left the light on
then I wouldn't have tried
and 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
and the door wasn't closed

I wouldn't have pulled you to me
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've left the light on
you should've left the light on

                          and the flames burned away
                             but I am still spitting fire
                makes no difference what you're saying

                               You're still a liar
You're still a liar
