Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Could you ever fall in love in a week?
It moves so fast, you're frozen
In a calm, covered commotion
Where time and space don't speak
It kills you in a silent sleep
And it isn't until it's over
That you even begin to notice
The force of a short-lived heat
Still burns in me
[Verse 2]
And all my friends, they
Hate to see me hollow
One by one, they
Look at me and say
[Verse 3]
It was chance, it wasn't fate
Turn your head, walk away
Move on, it's over
Drink, don't get sober
You'll be fine, he'll be okay
Just gotta hurt through the pain
One heartache closer
Two heartbreaks over
So call it serendipity
[Verse 4]
That the both of us were chosen
For this beautiful misfortune
When you laid your eyes on me
It cuts so deep
[Verse 5]
'Cause even I knew we'd never make it
Wish I could know why we ever met at all
[Verse 6]
Guess it was chance
It wasn't fate
Turn your head, walk away
Move on, it's over
Drink, don't get sober
You'll be fine, he'll be okay
Just gotta hurt through the pain
One heartache closer
Two heartbreaks over
Over
[Verse 7]
So it wasn't meant to be
Yeah, the stars, they were just teasin'
When they sent your heart to me, and
I won't forget the feeling
Of you and me
