[Verse 1]
And when it rains on this side of town
It touches everything
Just say it again and mean it
We don't miss a thing

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You made yourself a bed at the bottom
Of the blackest hole (Blackest hole)
And convinced yourself
That it's not the reason you don't see the sun anymore

[Chorus]
And oh oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
Oh, oh, I need an ending
So, why can't you stay just long enough to explain?

[Verse 2]
And when it rains, you always find an escape
Just running away from all of the ones who love you
From everything

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You made yourself a bed at the bottom
Of the blackest hole (Blackest hole)
And you'll sleep till May
And you'll say that you don't wanna see the sun anymore

[Chorus]
And oh oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
Oh, oh, I need an ending
So, why can't you stay just long enough to explain?

[Bridge]
Take your time, take my time
Take these chances to turn it around
Let's take these chances, we'll make it somehow
And take these chances to turn it around
Just turn it around

[Breakdown]
Oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming

[Chorus]
And oh oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
Oh, how could you do it?
Oh I, I never saw it coming
Oh oh, I need an ending
So, why can't you stay just long enough to explain?

[Outro]
You can take your time, take my time

Around the year 2004, in the small town of Franklin, Tennessee, one of the most iconic and influential female-fronted rock bands formed. Paramore, a name that derives from the word paramour meaning secret lover, is a Grammy Award winning pop-punk/pop-rock band that currently consists of lead vocalist Hayley Williams, guitarist Taylor York and drummer Zac Farro. They came up in the pop-punk scene but have since developed a more radio-friendly pop rock sound.

As recognizable as the band’s singer (Hayley Williams) is, the group actually started without her. Josh Farro and Zac Farro initially jammed with Jeremy Davis after school, but after deciding they needed a vocalist, they called Williams and the band was formed. The group eventually added another member, Hayley’s neighbor Jason Bynum, as rhythm guitarist.

Their first album, All We Know Is Falling, was released in 2005 when frontwoman Hayley Williams was only 16 years old. It reached number 8 on the UK Rock Chart, but regardless of the record’s success, it showed problems between band members as Jeremy Davis left the band shortly before its release.
