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
