We lived the dream
And the air was as clean as it could beMy heart raced faster as I triedTo hide the fact I was alive
Why can’t the world fall at our feet?Why do I stumble over words I want to speak?Why do I feel butterflies every time we meet?
My love for you

blossomed all through the yearI could picture us together, close when you weren’t near
And we were as happy as could beAnd we were laughing contently
My heart raced faster as I triedTo hide the fact I was alive
Why can’t the world fall at our feet?Why do I stumble over words I want to speak?Why do I feel butterflies every time we meet?
But in truth I’m never gonna have the strength toTalk to you, what if you don’t want me to?
Why can’t the world fall at our feet?Why do I stumble over words I want to speak?Why do I feel butterflies every time we meet?Why can’t the world fall at our feet?Why do I stumble over words I want to speak?Why do I feel butterflies every time we meet?

Like a man who’s got nothing left to loseNot a penny but everything to proveLike a man on the edgeWho wishes that she had never left
Running in a circle to tie up ends still looseTryna pull his neck from out the nooseAnd win back her respectBut he’s not looking his best
When it all breaks downIt all breaks down, downDown
He can’t bare to consider someone newWhiskey and cigarettes won’t see him throughSays that he’s got a planHolding on as tight as he can
She played him for a foolBut he taught her toShe’s only ever happy
When it all breaks downIt all breaks down, downDown
She was trouble from the very startShe had a knack of tearing hearts apartNo one knows where it endsHe’s tryna not be nobody’s friend
And it all breaks downIt all breaks down, downDown
