[Verse 1]
It's the hardest part when you stop believing
And you want too much, so you keep deceiving
Is there enough to share or are we destined to fight
Between the darkness and the light?
I'll have everything I need if I leave it behind
I'm gonna walk this path as if I'm blind
So hold on to what's good 'cause there's not a lot of it
We all have hearts but we've all got demons
[Chorus]
You wanted to fall and I tried to save you
Oh, you had it all when they took it away from you
You wanted to fall, now there's nothing left to lose
I thought it'd be easy but the dream, it ended
I've had enough of always pretending
I tried to leave the train from the first-class cabin
But the desert was dry and the wind was howling
We've had too much and we lost the thrill of it
We've had so much but it was never enough
[Chorus]
You wanted to fall and I tried to save you
Oh, you had it all when they took it away from you
You wanted to fall and they took it away from you
You had it all, now there's nothing left to lose
[Bridge]
We will never grow old
No, we will never grow old
[Chorus]
You wanted to fall and I tried to save you
And you had it all when they took it away from you
You wanted to fall and they took it away from you
You had it all, now there's nothing left to lose
You got nothing left to lose
[Outro]
We will never grow old
No, we will never grow old

According to Luke Pritchard:
This one, funnily enough, actually started out being called “Kate Moss” for no particular reason! Just started with her as a kind of inspiration or point, like something to come from. Had this little sample of just saying, “Kate Moss, Kate Moss.” It never made the song...
