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
I thought we were done
And young love would keep us young
I thought we were done
And young love would keep us young
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 leant 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
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
I thought we were done
And young love would keep us young
I thought we were done
And young love would keep us young
Why do I keep falling
I thought we were done
Why do I keep falling
And young love would keep us young
Why do I keep falling
I thought we were done
Why do I keep falling
And young love would keep us young
