[Verse 1]
Writing about the days when we were so young
Shaye, I didn't think you'd leave with that pistol gun
Now you're running out the town killing everyone
Saying you're closer to the sky when you feel the sun
Remember how we said that we must not hurt
But the scars upon your skin starting getting worse
Don't you ever blame yourself for the bad you've done
Cause you're just like me
Dear Shaye Saint John
[Hook]
Love collides
Love collides
Don't say
Don't say
Love collides
Love collides
Don't say
Don't say
[Verse 2]
Nature is the force that we cannot touch
But the anger that we build
Seems to get to us
Cause I hardly every thought that
The feeling won
Shaye, I didn't think today would be the day you're done
Running through the streets like we used to do
Now the screams are on repeat, and they're finding you
Blood is dripping from your clothes
And you're on the run
But I'll find you in the end
Dear Shaye Saint John
Sticks and stones and broken bones
Don't worry
We'll be chasing stars till everything we love collides
You can promise I won't say your story
Deep inside my heart, you're always going to be alive
[Hook]
Love collides
Love collides
Don't say
Don't say
Love collides
Love collides
Don't say
Don't say
