[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 your love
Just take a minute take a breath Lay down your head on my sunken chest I saw a flicker then just smoke But as you left I was calling your name at the night
[Hook 1:] I thought we were done And young love would keep us young [x2]
[Verse 2:] I thought we fell to the ground I see you whimper with no sound Open my mouth to breathe some words of peace But the silence gives nothing back to me
So I'll be a shadow of the flame I lent down to kiss you then erased my name And I'll be a whisper on the wind My hands are shaking from holding so tight for so long
[Bridge:] The flame burnt out in our empty hands But now I see it's got nothing to do It's got nothing to do with you
[Hook 1]
[Hook 2 x2:] (Why do I keep falling) I thought we were done (Why do I keep falling) And young love would keep us young
