[Verse 1]
You trembled like you'd seen a ghost
And I gave in
I lacked the things you need the most
You said, "Where have you been?"
You wasted all that sweetness to run and hide
I wonder why
I remind you of the days you poured your heart into
But you never tried
I've fallen from grace
Took a blow to my face
I've loved and I've lost
I've loved and I've lost

[Chorus]
Explosions on the day you wake up
Needing somebody and you've learned
It's okay to be afraid
But it will never be the same
It will never be the same

[Verse 2]
You left my soul bleeding in the dark
So you could be king, ah
The rules you set are still untold to me
And I've lost my faith in everything
The nights you could cope
Your intentions were gold
But the mountains will shake
I need to know I can still make

[Chorus]
Explosions on the day you wake up
Needing somebody and you've learned
It's okay to be afraid
But it will never be the same

[Bridge]
And as the floods move in
And your body starts to sink
I was the last thing on your mind
I know you better than you think
Because it's simple, darling, I gave you a warning
Now everything you own is falling from the sky in pieces
So watch them fall with you, in slow motion
I pray that you will find peace of mind
And I'll find you another time
I'll love you, another time

[Chorus]
Explosions on the day you wake up
Needing somebody and you've learned
It's okay to be afraid
But it will never be the same
It will never be the same
