Lyrics of Opera House by Cigarettes After Sex
Built an opera house for you in the deepest jungle
And I walked across its stage singing with my eyes closed
I′ve got a love for you I just can't escape
All of my love for you cuts me like barbed wire
I was meant to love you and always keep you in my life
I was meant to love you,
I knew I loved you at first sight
If I abandoned love I′d be a man without dreams
I'd rather be out there staring death right between its eyes now
And I can still hear the sound of you crying through the night
There in the opera house with no one else for miles
I was meant to love you and always keep you in my life
I was meant to love you
I knew I loved you at first sight
I was meant to love you and always keep you in my life
I was meant to love you
I knew I loved you at first sight
