One Day We'll Be a Song

So let’s pretend that the past didn’t happen to us

It was just an illusion

That we unsaid all those words, that we somehow unheard

The truths we weren’t ready to hear.

Reverse us to the time when we were possible

Erase us from the lines that were drawn up on the wall.

We fought it but we had no chance

We lost the moment we chose to start a war

And we were written to end ‘cause we were proud

That’s how this story goes.

We fought it but we had no chance

It was the monster we built who brought our fall

If we can play back our pieces to the start

One day we’ll be a song.

We said a million goodbyes and a million good lies

To ourselves and each other

But if the story can’t change then let’s rearrange

The words into something brand new.

We fought it but we had no chance

We lost the moment we chose to start a war

And we were written to end ‘cause we were proud

That’s how this story goes.

We fought it but we had no chance

It was the monster we built who brought our fall

If we can play back our pieces to the start

One day we’ll be a song.
