lyrics

We’re a car crash
Hard time lovers on our last breath
It makes no sense
That we should be together
Cause once upon a time we were good, so good
When I was me and you were you
Now we’re a car crash

But then I see your face
And the doubts fall away
And maybe we can make it after all
And then I touch your hand
And I can understand
That we might lose but we won’t lose it all
Or maybe maybe oh
It’s the hope that kills you

We’re a cliche
Burn so bright then we fade away
All the mistakes
Are coming back to haunt us
Cause once upon a time we were howling at the moon
Screaming out forever but it came to soon
We’re a cliche

But then I see your face
And the doubts fall away
And maybe we can make it after all
And then I touch your hand
And I can understand
That we might lose but we won’t lose it all
Or maybe maybe oh
It’s the hope that kills you

Then I see your face
All the doubts fall away
And maybe we can make it after all
And then I touch your hand
And I can understand
That we might lose but we’ll never lose it all
Or maybe maybe oh
Maybe maybe oh
Maybe maybe oh
It’s the hope that kills you
