[Instrumental Intro]
The lights came on fast
Lost in motor crash
Gone in a flash, unreal
But you knew all along
You laugh the light
I sing the songs
To watch you numb

You laugh the light
I cry the wound
In gray afternoons
I saw you there
You were on your way
You kissed me cold
And for the first time
Heaven seemed insane
For taking you away
'Cause heaven is to blame
For taking you away

Do you know the way that I can’t choose?
Do you know the things that I can?
Do you know the things that I can’t lose?
Tear me apart
Tear me apart from you
Where is your heart?
Where has your heart run to?
