Lyrics

When the fighting is over
Cuz our mouths have just run dry
As our feelings get colder
There's nothing to hold us now
Gave all this time just to be let down.

Can you explain to me
What has become of us?
With words released
We can never take them back
For all that we're worth now
Not even pleading can save us.

I know you'll meet someone better
But would you still think of me?
If he can't hold you like I did
Would you run back to me?
Yes I know this pain shall pass
Gave all this time still we couldn't last.

How did we end this way?
Our promises thrown away
All the years we've built, broken up
See it crashing down
I have to say.
Though alone in this crazy sea of faces
It's still your face I wanna know.
