[Intro]
When there's nothing left to burn
You have to set yourself on fire
[Verse 1: Campbell]
God, that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said, "Yes, I think we've met before,"
In that instant it started to pour
[Verse 2: Campbell]
Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of that time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name
[Verse 3: Millan]
This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
Tried to reach deep but you couldn't get in
Now you're outside me, you see all the beauty
Repent all your sin
[Verse 4: Campbell & Millan]
It's nothing but time and a face that you lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn't choose
I'll write you a postcard, I'll send you the news
From the house down the road from real love
[Bridge: Campbell & Millan]
Live through this and you won't look back
Live through this and you won't look back
Live through this and you won't look back
[Outro: Campbell & Milan]
There's one thing I want to say so I'll be brave:
You were what I wanted, I gave what I gave
I'm not sorry I met you, I'm not sorry it's over
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save
I'm not sorry there's nothing to save
