Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You trembled like you'd seen a ghost
And I gave in
I lack the things you need the most, you said
Where have you been
[Verse 2]
You wasted all that sweetness to run and hide
I wonder why
I remind you of the days you poured your heart into
But you never tried
[Verse 3]
I've fallen from grace
Took a blow to my face
I've loved and I've lost
I've loved and I've lost
[Verse 4]
Explosions
On the day you wake up needing somebody
And you've learned
It's okay to be afraid
But it will never be the same
It will never be the same
[Verse 5]
You left my soul bleeding in the dark
So you could be king, ah
The rules you set are still untold to me, and I've
Lost my faith in everything
[Verse 6]
The nights you could cope
Your intentions were gold
But the mountains will shake
I need to know I can still make
[Verse 7]
Explosions
On the day you wake up needing somebody
And you've learned
It's okay to be afraid
But it will never be the same
[Verse 8]
And as the floods move in, and your body starts to sink
I was the last thing on your mind, I know you better than you think
'Cause it's simple, darling, I gave you a warning
Now everything you own is falling from the sky in pieces
So watch them fall with you in slow motion
I pray that you will find peace of mind, and I'll find you another time
I'll love you another time
[Verse 9]
Explosions
On the day you wake up needing somebody
And you've learned
It's okay to be afraid
But it will never be the same
