(Verse 1)

I’m sitting in the oak tree shadows now

I’ve learned the way your curtains move, and how

You take your tea at seven, then you sleep

I have these little secrets that I keep.

I found the ribbon that you dropped today

I kissed the silk before I tucked it away

You don’t know I’m the reason that he’s gone

The boy you liked? He didn’t belong.

(Chorus)

Oh, Lizzie, you’re the rhythm in my chest

I’m the only one who’ll put your head to rest

I’ve built a cage of gold and heavy things

Lizzie, you’re the only song I’ll let you sing.

(Verse 2)

I saw you looking lonely at the park

Don’t worry, I’ll be with you in the dark

I cleaned your windows while you were at work

I felt your heartbeat through the woodwork.

I’ve memorized the scent of every hair

I’m in the walls, I’m in the very air

You think you’re safe behind a double lock?

I have the key, I don't even need to knock.

(Bridge)

You don’t need the world, you only need my eyes

I’ve cut the phone lines, severed all your ties

If I can’t have you, then the earth can’t either

I’ll hold my breath until we’re both in ether.

(Chorus)

Oh, Lizzie, you’re the rhythm in my chest

I’m the only one who’ll put your head to rest

I’ve built a cage of gold and heavy things

Lizzie, you’re the only song I’ll let you sing.

(Outro)

Don’t cry, Lizzie.

I’m right behind you.

Forever.

(Sound of a door clicking shut)
