Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tell my thoughts to resign
And lift you from my mind
I'm not ready, I'm not strong enough
To cradle the weight of you love
[Verse 2]
Just take a minute, take a breath
Lay down your head on my sunken head
I saw a flicker, then just smoke
But as you left, I was callin' your name at the night
[Verse 3]
Thought we were done
Young love would keep us young
I thought we were done
And you love would keep us young
[Verse 4]
I thought we fell to the ground
I see you whimper with no sound
Open my mouth, to breath some words of peace
But the silence gives nothing back to me
[Verse 5]
So I'll be a shadow of the flame
I lent to kiss you, then erase my name
And I'll be a whisper on the wind
My hands are shakin' from holdin' so tight for so long
[Verse 6]
The flame burnt out in our empty hands
But now I see it's got nothin' to do
It's got nothin' to do with you
[Verse 7]
You thought we were done
Young love would keep us young
I thought we were done
And young love would keep us young
(Why do I keep fallin'?)
I thought we were done
(Why do I keep fallin'?)
Young love would keep us young
(Why do I keep fallin'?)
I thought we were done
(Why do I keep fallin'?)
And young love would keep us young
