this time i need to know

i really must be told

if it's over

it's up to you, you know

the things you really want to hold

are in pieces



crashing down

crashing down again

crashing down

crashing down my friends



i've got to move it on

i've got to sing my song

while i still can

dispatch the last alarms

and of the last few shards

they're still surprising



only love

only love can win

crashing down

crashing down again



only love, yeah

only love will win

crashing down

crashing down again



this time i need to know

i really must be told

that it's over

i've lived my life alone

my every step fortold

to never linger

and yet it haunts me so

what are we letting go

the spell is broken



crashing down

crashing down my friend

crashing down

crashing down again



only love, yeah

only love will be enough, yeah

only love will win



for every chemical

you trade a piece of your soul

you know me time

and who you think you know

doesn't know you at all

portrayed as needless



someday we'll wave hello

and wish we'd never waved goodbye

to those brown eyes

we'll drink up every line

and shoot up everyone

until it's no more



crashing down

crashing down my friends

only love

only love can win



so cry these tears

we'll cry is all

we've held so long

to fall apart

as the curtain falls

we bid you all goodnight
