We knew it wouldn't last
Your eyes were hollow
An omen of sorrow
This is the bed we made
A slow burn explosion
A crash in slow motion

And I took the pains, I drew my crosses
I took my gains, I cut my losses
I braced myself for when it hit
I braced myself to let go

I watched it fall, the sky and all
I saw it coming but it just hit harder
Burned my wings and broke my strings
I fell and fell into the rolling thunder
Let you make your play, I thought you'd say
You want to stay despite it all
But it went as written
And all was blown away

Weeks, a blur of fears
I've lived a minute for years and years
Climbing through the ruins
I've wasted centuries
Rebuilding towers from my tears

Tried to fit each piece into the other
I broke myself to match another
You fought for me, I fought for you
But nothing seemed to stay

I watched it fall, the sky and all
I saw it coming but it just hit harder
Burned my wings and broke my strings
I fell and fell into the rolling thunder
Let you make your play, I thought you'd say
You want to stay despite it all
But it went as written
And all was blown away

The first to leave, the last to let go
The last to let go, the last to get better
The last to grieve, the last to move on
The last to move on, the last to remember
The first to leave, the last to let go
The last to let go, the last to get better
The last to grieve, the last to move on
The last to move on, the last to remember

I watched it fall, the sky and all (The first to leave, the last to let go)
I saw it coming but it just hit harder (The last to let go, the last to get better)
Burned my wings and broke my strings (The last to grieve, the last to move on)
I fell and fell into the rolling thunder (The last to move on, the last to remember)

Gone, the city sights, the spurs and lights (The first to leave, the last to let go)
It hit and hit again but harder (The last to let go, the last to get better)
Burned my wings and broke my strings (The last to grieve, the last to move on)
I fell and fell into the darkness under (The last to move on, the last to remember)

Let you make your play (The first to leave)
I thought you'd say (The last to let go)
You want to stay despite it all (The last to let go, the last to get better)
But it went as written (The last to grieve, the last to move on)
The last to get better
