Lyrics
0:20I'll always remember the day we first met
0:25Fires of September still burning their best
0:30The sky full of smoke full of promise
0:34Of anything possible
0:40It felt like a dream to feel safe in your arms
0:45Despite all the warnings I fell for your charms
0:50The earth opened up like desire
0:54It was unstoppable
1:00You lay down your history your battle scars
1:05But all I could see were the stars
1:10So I don't want to blame you but my heart is shattered
1:15How could you leave us like none of it mattered?
1:20This kind of love comes but once maybe twice if you're lucky
1:26Time's running out
1:30So why won't you talk to me? Tell me your troubles
1:35I'm right here beside you the calm in your storm
1:40But you kissed me and walked away into your wilderness
1:55You came back you begged me I bought what you sold
2:00I gave my forgiveness I set the bar low
2:05'Cause all along you had another life somewhere
2:10With somebody other than me
2:15I let myself down in the name of love
2:20Chasing illusions of you
2:25So I don't want to blame you but my heart is shattered
2:30I should have known better I should have run faster
2:35But this kind of love comes but once maybe twice if you're lucky
2:41Time's running out
2:45So why won't you talk to me? Tell me your troubles
2:50I'm right here beside you the calm in your storm
2:55But you kissed me and walked away into your wilderness
3:10We do best we can with the tools that we've got
3:15But a home can't survive a foundation of rot
3:20There's no pretty words to dress up the betrayal
3:25As anything but what it is
3:30So I guess I can blame you 'cause my heart is shattered
3:35You took what you wanted like none of it mattered
3:40'Cause this kind of love comes but once maybe twice if you're lucky
3:46Your luck is all run out
3:50So don't try to tell me you're sorry
3:54I'm so tired of all of your ******** your weakness and fear
4:00You can take yourself into your wilderness
4:07And disappear
I'll always remember the day we first met Fires of September still burning their best The sky full of smoke full of promise Of anything possible It felt like a dream to feel safe in your arms Despite all the warnings I fell for your charms The earth opened up like desire It was unstoppable You lay down your history your battle scars But all I could see were the stars So I don't want to blame you but my heart is shattered How could you leave us like none of it mattered? This kind of love comes but once maybe twice if you're lucky Time's running out So why won't you talk to me? Tell me your troubles I'm right here beside you the calm in your storm But you kissed me and walked away into your wilderness You came back you begged me I bought what you sold I gave my forgiveness I set the bar low 'Cause all along you had another life somewhere With somebody other than me I let myself down in the name of love Chasing illusions of you So I don't want to blame you but my heart is shattered I should have known better I should have run faster But this kind of love comes but once maybe twice if you're lucky Time's running out So why won't you talk to me? Tell me your troubles I'm right here beside you the calm in your storm But you kissed me and walked away into your wilderness We do best we can with the tools that we've got But a home can't survive a foundation of rot There's no pretty words to dress up the betrayal As anything but what it is So I guess I can blame you 'cause my heart is shattered You took what you wanted like none of it mattered 'Cause this kind of love comes but once maybe twice if you're lucky Your luck is all run out So don't try to tell me you're sorry I'm so tired of all of your ******** your weakness and fear You can take yourself into your wilderness And disappear
