We could never have had it all
That was our greatest downfall
You wanted everything to be right
And I messed us up in time
You said I was a whirlwind of contradiction
Sunny one minute and a downpour the next
You couldn't recognise the chaos behind my eyes
Or understand the trouble that left me tired
You hated my mess and reckless ways
Those times I'd sit completely hazed
You hated not knowing what was on my mind
But I couldn't divulge the dark that I hide
I wanted to be pure for you
And left unscathed from my ways
But even with a burning heart -
I still knew how to be cold from the start
In the end, everything you said was fire
When you couldn't get my mind right
We said some things we both regret
But we can never turn back the time

And I messed us up in time
You said I was a whirlwind of contradiction
Sunny one minute and a downpour the next
You couldn't recognise the chaos behind my eyes
Or understand the trouble that left me tired
You hated my mess and reckless ways
Those times I'd sit completely hazed
You hated not knowing what was on my mind
But I couldn't divulge the dark that I hide
I wanted to be pure for you
And left unscathed from my ways
But even with a burning heart -
I still knew how to be cold from the start
In the end, everything you said was fire
When you couldn't get my mind right
We said some things we both regret
But we can never turn back the time
