Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Let's go out in a blaze of glory; All good things must end; Like two heroes in a story, Let's go out like we came in – In a blaze of glory. Here we are, broken-hearted; We thought our love would never end; We fell hard when we got started, Falling out like we fell in. Let's go out in a blaze of glory; All good things must end; Like two heroes in a story, Let's go out like we came in – In a blaze of glory. Let's don't lie and hurt each other – That would be our worst mistake; Once again, let's act like lovers, One more time for old time's sake Let's go out in a blaze of glory; All good things must end; Like two heroes in a story, Let's go out like we came in – In a blaze of glory. Let's go out in a blaze of glory; All good things must end; Like two heroes in a story, Let's go out like we came in – In a blaze of glory.
