Lyrics

[Chorus]
It must change
It must change
It must change
It must change
[Verse 1]
The way you talk to me must change
The things you do to me
The way you leave me
The seeds you give to me
It must change
It must change
The death inside you
That you pass into me
The truth is that I always
Thought you were beautiful
In your own way
(You know how they always said that light was the opposite of darkness?
It's just fire in darkness)
[Bridge]
That's why this is so sad
That's why this is so sad
(Creating life)
That's why this is so sad
That's why this is so sad
(So, those opposites, they don't exist)
So sad
(It's just an idea that someone told you)
So sad
And that's why this is so sad
[Chorus]
It must change
Must change
It must change
It must change
[Verse 2]
That city in your head
Collapsing walls and lead, it must change
The fire is cleaning
The oil from the stones
Your god is failing you, things must change
Giving you hell
The truth is that our love
Will ricochet through eternity
[Outro]
(And we're not getting out of here)
That's why this is so sad
(No one's getting out of here)
That's why this is so sad
(This is our world)
That's why this is so sad
That's why this is so sad
[Outro]
It's so sad
So sad
(It's just gonna be a lonely place for us)
So sad
(This was the place)
So sad
So sad
