[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 your 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 breath 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 your love would keep us young
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 your 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 breath 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 your love would keep us young
