Lyrics

(CN.C.)(Ah.)

(Ah.)

(Ah.)

(Ah.)

You trem bled like you’d seen

a ghost.

And I gave in.

I lack the things you need

the most, you said.

Where have you been?

You wast ed all that sweet ness to run and hide.

I won der why.

(Ooh.)

I re mind you of the days you poured your heart in to.

But you nev er tried.

I’ve fall en from grace, took a blow to my face.

I’ve loved and I’ve lost, I’ve loved and I’ve lost.

Ex plo

(Dm7)sions

on the day you wake up need ing some bod y and you’ve learned

it’s O.

K.

to be (F)a fraid.

But it will nev er be the same.

It will nev er be the (F)same.

You left my soul bleed

ing in the dark

so you could be king.

Ah.

The rules you set are still un told to me and I’ve

lost my faith in ev ’ry (Dm)thing.

The nights you could cope, your in ten tions were gold.

But the moun tains will shake.

I need to know I can still make ex plo

(Dm7)sions

on the day you wake up need ing some bod y and you’ve learned

it’s O.

K.

to be (F)a fraid.

But it will nev er be the same.

And as the floods move in

and your bod y starts to sink I was the last thing on your mind.

I know you bet ter than you (Dm)think.

’Cause it’s sim ple darl ing, I gave you a warn ing.

Now ev ’ry thing you own is fall ing from the sky in piec es.

So watch them fall with you in slow mo tion.

I pray that you will find (Bb)peace of mind and I’ll find you an oth er time.

I’ll

love you an oth er (Gm)time.

Ex plo

Ooh.

Ooh.
