[Verse 1]

When the fighting is over

'Cause our mouths have just run dry

As our feelings get colder

There's nothing to hold us now

Gave all this time just to be let down

[Chorus]

Can you explain to me?

What has become of us?

With words released

We can never take them back

Not even pleading can save us

[Verse 2]

I know you'll meet someone better

But would you still think of me

If he can't hold you like I did

Would you run back to me?

Yes, I know this pain shall pass

Gave all this time still we couldn't last

[Chorus]

Explain to me

What has become of us?

With words released

We can never take them back

For all that were worth now

Not even pleading can save us

[Bridge]

How did we end this way?

Our promises thrown away

All the years we built, broken up

See it crashing down

I have to say

Though alone in this crazy sea of faces

It's still your face I wanna know

[Chorus]

Explain to me

What has become of us?

With words released

We can never take them back

For all that were worth now

Not even pleading can save us

Can't save us now

[Outro]

The fighting is over

The fighting is over

The fighting is over

The fighting is over now
