lyrics

We coulda seen it coming
Now there’s a stranger living your life
Turning back but they’ve left you nothing
Now it’s your own hand twisting the knife

How many more times are we gonna try?
How many more times can we close our eyes?

Shut our eyes
But we can’t forget it
Can’t forget it, no no no
Eyes
But we can’t forget it
Can’t forget it, no

Went down with the softest explosion
Nothing had changed or so they say
Stood alone on the stairs you’re frozen, broken
You tell me it’s always been this way

How many more times are we gonna try?
How many more times can we close our

Eyes
But we can’t forget it
Can’t forget it, no no no
Eyes but we can’t forget it
Can’t forget it

Shut our eyes
But we can’t forget it
Can’t forget it, no no no
Eyes but we can’t forget it
Can’t forget it, no no
