[Verse 1]

This time I need to know

I really must be told

If it’s over

It’s up to you, you know

The things you want to hold

Are in pieces

[Chorus 1]

Crashing down

Crashing down again

Crashing down

Crashing down, my friends

[Verse 2]

I’ve got to move it on

I’ve got to sing my song

While I still can

Dispatch the last alarms

Hand out the last few charms

There’s no surprises

[Chorus 2]

Only love

Only love can win

Crashing down

Crashing down, my friends

Only love

Only love will win

Crashing down

Crashing down again

[Verse 3]

This time I need to know

I really must be told

That it’s over

I’ve lived my life alone

My every step foretold

To never linger

And yet it haunts me so

What we are letting go

Our spell is broken

[Chorus 3]

Crashing down

Crashing down, my friends

Crashing down

Crashing down again

Only love, yeah

Only love will be enough

Yeah, only love will win

[Bridge]

For every chemical

You trade a piece of your soul

With no return

And who you think you know

Doesn’t know you at all

Their drain is needless

Someday we’ll wave hello

And wish we’d never waved goodbye

To this romance

We’ll drink up every line

And shoot up every word

Till there’s no more

[Chorus 4]

Crashing down

Crashing down, my friends

Only love

Only love can win

[Outro]

So cry these tears

We’ll cry as all

We’ve held so long

To fall apart

As the curtain falls

We bid you all goodnight
