(Verse)
|
If I thought it would help, I would drive this car into the sea
|
If the fire and smoke and explosions could speak for me
|
If the words that I used to try to explain how something inside of me started to break
|
I put one by one, my words just got in the way
|
How many nights did I crash against the waves with my head going under?
|
How many days did I spend trying to see it your way, if you try, you'd remember
|
I changed and changed and kept on saying
|
'One of these days, something inside's gonna break and we won't get it back now, baby'
|
(Something's gonna break)
|
|
(Chorus)
|
And if I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart
|
(If I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart)
|
And if I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart
|
(If I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart)
|
All of the things that I tried to explain, how something inside of me started to break
|
We were living proof, one by one, we drifted away (one by one, we drifted away)
|
And time after time there were things that would scare me to tears, while you called me haunted
|
I paced around the bed where you laid
|
One of these days, maybe, something (something's gonna break)
|
|
(Interlude)
|
|
(Chorus)
|
And if I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart
|
(If I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart)
|
And if I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart
|
(If I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart)
|
And all of the things that I tried to explain, how something inside of me started to break
|
We were living proof, one by one, we drifted away
|
Away, hey, yeah
|
Drifted away, hey, yeah
|
One by one and day by day, I became the dark in the places where we lived
|
And if I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart
|
(If I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart)
|
And if I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart
|
(If I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart)
|
And all of the things that I tried to explain, how something inside of me started to break
|
We were living proof, one by one, we drifted away
|
