There's a girl
Back home
I use to know
She cried her self
To sleep every night
We all knew
We all knew

Only girl
Who would ever
Compromise
Strike a deal
With the devil
To save a night
We all knew
We all knew

She tried to call me
A month ago
To sing me a song
That she just wrote
But I wasn't home
I should've know

That time
Had taken it toll
She had no place to go
They found her body
Resting by the river

Oh
I never said good bye
I wish I would have tried
I couldn't hear her cries
As she filled her veins
With light
Until she saw the light

I remember
We would hide
Behind the trees
Smoking cigarettes
Until our throats
Would bleed
Those were the days
Those were the days

Yeah
Never scared
Never worried
That the summer
Would end
Invincible
To every sharp end
We drove so fast
Thought it would last

But time
Had taken it toll
She had no place to go
They found her body
Resting by the river

Oh
I never said good bye
I wish
I would have tried
I couldn't hear
Her cries
As she filled
Her veins with light
Until she saw the light

Madeline
Madeline
You will be
Remembered
Madeline
Madeline
We still have
September
Madeline
Madeline
We'll see you
On the other side
Die

If I could
Could turn back time
I'd find a way
To remind you
That some how
You could try
To give in
And fight
The good fight

Oh
You didn't have to die
You filled your veins
With lies
My precious madeline
