This Time (song)

This time I need to know

I really must be told

If it's over

 

It's up to you you know

The things you want to hold

Are in pieces

 

Crashing down

Crashing down again

 

Crashing down

Crashing down my friends

 

I've got to move it on

I've got to sing my song

While I still can

 

Dispatch the last alarms

Hand out the last few charms

There's no surprises

 

Only love

Only love can win

 

Crashing down

Crashing down again

 

Only love

Yeah only love will win

 

Crashing down

Crashing down again

 

This time I need to know

I really must be told

That it's over

 

I've lived my life alone

My every step foretold

To never linger

 

And yet it haunts me so

What are we letting go

Our spell is broken

 

Crashing down

Crashing down my friends

 

Crashing down

Crashing down again

 

Only love

Yeah only love

Will be enough

Yeah only love will win

 

For every chemical

You trade a piece of your soul

With no return

 

And who you think you know

Doesn't know you at all

Their drain is needless

 

Someday we'll wave hello

And wish we'd never waved goodbye

To this romance

 

We'll drink up every line

And shoot up every word

Till there's no more

 

Crashing down

Crashing down my friends

 

Only love

Only love can win

 

So cry these tears we'll cry as all

We've held so long to fall apart

As the curtain falls we bid you all goodnight
