Tell my thoughts to resign And lift you from my mind I'm not ready I'm not strong enough To cradle the weight of your love Just take a minute take a breath Lay down your head on my sunken chest I saw a flicker then just smoke But as you left I was calling your name at the night Thought we were done Young love would keep us young I thought we were done And young love would keep us young I thought we fell to the ground I see you whimper with no sound Open my mouth to breath some words of peace But the silence gives nothing back to me So I'll be a shadow of the flame I lent down to kiss you then erased my name And I'll be a whisper on the wind My hands are shaking from holding so tight for so long The flame burnt out in our empty hands But now I see it's got nothing to do It's got nothing to do with You thought we were done Young love would keep us young I thought we were done And young love would keep us young (Why do I keep falling) I thought we were done (Why do I keep falling) And young love would keep us young (Why do I keep falling) I thought we were done (Why do I keep falling) And young love would keep us young
