>> Never thought [singing] I would see the

day

when [music] my words stopped to

resonate.

Never been down this road before.

>> [music]

>> Maybe we took a [music] wrong turn.

[singing]

Yeah, we just had to let it burn.

You didn't need to slam the door.

>> [music and singing]

>> This love means way too much

for us [music] to give it up.

We let the flames get way too high.

>> [music]

>> Even if it goes sideways,

even if we scream out enough's enough,

[music]

I believe that we'll always find a way

to weather the storm.

Even [music] if it goes sideways,

and eventually we

run out of luck,

give you every [music] piece of me till

there's none left anymore.

Your happiness,

that's the [music] only thing [singing]

that brings me joy.

The emptiness,

>> [music]

>> that's the only thing that you destroy

in me. The gravity

>> [singing]

>> is drowning me,

and I'm making up all these [music]

tragedies.

Clarity

comes to me telling me to slow

[music and singing]

down.

This love means way too much

for me to mess it up.

I'll never let the flames get way too

high.

>> [music and singing]

>> Even if it goes sideways,

even [music] if we scream out

enough's enough,

I believe that [music] we'll always find

a way to weather the storm.

Even if it goes sideways, [music]

and eventually we

run [singing] out of luck,

give you every piece of me till there's

none left anymore.
