This Time

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 Crashing down Crashing down again Crashing down Crashing down my friends 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 Only love yeah Only love can win Crashing down Crashing down, my friends 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 Crashing down Crashing down, my friends Crashing down Crashing down again Only love, yeah Only love will be enough Yeah, only love will win 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 Crashing down Crashing down, my friends Only love Only love can win 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
