Verse 1

Oh, I remember how you were

You were every shade of perfect

And then the colors blurred

And you'll never love me like you did

You'll never love, you'll never love me like you did

And I see your ghost from time to time

When I'm driving through the Rockies

And I feel this little knife in my heart

And it bleeds me out

Don't wanna love, I don't wanna love you now

Pre-Chorus

Oh, how come all the best things fall apart?

Chorus

And it startеd pretty slowly

Oh, when you asked about thе old me

"Oh, is he gone? Oh, is he gone?" Oh, I don't know

I think I left him somewhere I no longer go

And I watch you run away now

From all the lovely things we hate now

Where did we go? Where did we go? Oh, I don't know

But I know it feels like somewhere far away from home

And it's falling into pieces

No, there's not a way that we can stop this now

One thousand miles an hour, we're driving off the edge

And, darling, now there's nothing left

And it started out so slowly

Verse 2

Oh, as I lay here by myself

And it's 4 a.m., I wonder

Did I put you through hell? Oh no

I need to know if you're okay

I wanna know, I need to know if you're okay, mm

And I hope that you're so damn sure that leaving me was right

Best thing you ever did, it was leaving me behind

Oh, woo-ooh-ooh, I couldn't blame you if I tried

Pre-Chorus

I guess even the best things fall apart

Chorus

And it started pretty slowly

Oh, when you asked about the old me

"Oh, is he gone? Oh, is he gone?" Oh, I don't know

I think I left him somewhere I no longer go

And I watch you run away now

From all the lovely things we hate now

Where did we go? Where did we go? Oh, I don't know

But I know it feels like somewhere far away from home

And it's falling into pieces

No, there's not a way that we can stop this now

One thousand miles an hour, we're driving off the edge

And, darling, now there's nothing left

Bridge

(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Somewhere deep in you

Somewhere deep in me

Oh, there's still two lovers

So who the hell are we?

When I look at you

And when you look at me

Oh, there's still two lovers

So who the hell are we?

When I look at you

And when you look at me

Oh, there's still two lovers

So who the hell are we?

When I look at you

And when you look at me

Oh, there's still two lovers

So who the hell are we?

Outro

Who the hell are we?

(Oh, who the hell are we?)
