[Verse 1]

See, I've taken cities

Burn them to the ground

Turn buildings to dust

Without making a sound

And I've talked to angels

They've told me my fate

But I never listened

I just walked away

[Pre-Chorus]

Now I'm standing here

In the house on the hill

The door was left open

In the air is a chill

And I thought I could take it

Cos I need no one

But now it feels wasted

Being here on my own

[Pre-Chorus]

Cos before I met you

I had nothing to prove

And now it's so clear

That I've so much to lose

So as I wait here in our house on thе hill

I think I should tell you how I really feel

[Verse 2]

See, I find it hard

To live from my hеart

There's so many walls

I'm always on guard

And I look for danger

Round every corner

But that was before

Then I saw you

[Pre-Chorus]

I thought I could take it

Thought that I'd be fine

There's no need to chase it

She'll come round in her time

But now it is clear

I have made a mistake

And I do not want you

To just walk away

[Chorus]

Cos before I met you

I had nothing to prove

And now it is so clear

That I've so much to lose

So as I wait here in our house on the hill

And I find the courage to tell you how I really feel
