You trembled like you'd seen a ghost And I gave in I lack the things you need the most You said where have you been You wasted all that sweetness to run and hide I wonder why I remind you of the days you poured your heart into But you never tried I've fallen from grace Took a blow to my face I've loved and I've lost I've loved and I've lost Explosions on the day you wake up Needing somebody and you've learned It's okay to be afraid But it will never be the same It will never be the same You left my soul bleeding in the dark So you could be king The rules you set are still untold to me and I Lost my faith in everything The nights you could cope, your intentions were gold But the mountains will shake I need to know I can still make Explosions on the day you wake up Needing somebody and you've learned It's okay to be afraid But it will never be the same And as the floods move in And your body starts to sink I was the last thing on your mind I know you better than you think 'Cause it's simple darling, I gave you a warning Now everything you own is falling from the sky in pieces So watch them fall with you, in slow motion I pray that you will find peace of mind And I'll find you another time I'll love you, another time Explosions on the day you wake up Needing somebody and you've learned It's okay to be afraid But it will never be the same
