V1:
Did you gain everything that you want
Laid behind the lives at the front

B1: 
And with every breath you take
you owe them
And all choices that you make
you know that

C1:
When the damage is already done
In the fields lay the bodies of the old and the young
will you look back on today 
will you look back at the mess that you made

V2:
You don’t care for the lives that were lost
You want to fight no matter the cost

B2:
And with every breath you take
you owe them
And all choices that you make
you know that

C2:
When the damage is already done
In the fields lay the bodies of the old and the young
will you look back on today 
will you look back at the mess that you made

C3:
When the damage is already done
In the fields lay the bodies of the old and the young
will you look back on today 
will you look back at the mess that you made

Fallout

V1:
Feel so happy now you finally have the chance 
to get far away
And no matter what your family do 
they cant make you stay

B1:
you want to separate
to find a better place
Your doing what it takes
To try and get away

C1:
You gotta stay strong
This war has just begun
And you're way too young
to know what your running from
you don’t see under their disguise
or the truth behind their lies
Cause your way too young 
to know what you're running from 

V2:
Feeling no remorse
For the ones you’ve left behind
Not knowing all the pain that waits
on the other side

B2:
you want to separate
to find a better place
Your doing what it takes
To try and get away

C2:
You gotta stay strong
This war has just begun
And you're way too young
to know what your running from
you don’t see under their disguise
or the truth behind their lies
Cause your way too young 
to know what you're running from

Middle 8:
Do you think your better off alone
Trying to get far away from home
Running from the pain you feel inside
Now you've got no where left to hide

B3:
you want to separate
to find a better place
Your doing what it takes
To try and get away

C3:
You gotta stay strong
This war has just begun
And you're way too young
to know what your running from
you don’t see under their disguise
or the truth behind their lies
Cause your way too young 
to know what you're running from

Departure

Verse 1:

Don’t need permission to take some distance, I need it in the end,
there’s no reason to keep on dreaming of my future up ahead,
Just trying focus on what I know will eat me in the end,
I need some time to ease my mind, there’s no reason to pretend,

Chorus:

But it’s you that I want tonight, I didn’t mean to push you away,
I’ve abused what I’m tonight, I’m sorry that it ended this way,

Verse 2:

Just need a moment to take control of, the screaming in my head,
Don’t need a reason to lose an evening, I crave that sweet escape,
There’s no time to realign, I don’t care what happens now,
I lost a soul I called my own, I left her screaming out, 

Chorus:

But it’s you that I want tonight, I didn’t mean to push you away,
I’ve abused what I’m tonight, I’m sorry that it ended this way,

Middle 8:

Now that your gone I see it was love all along,
It’s all falling down I was oblivious until I drowned,

Chorus:

But it’s you that I want tonight, I didn’t mean to push you away,
I’ve abused what I’m tonight, I’m sorry that it ended this way,

Chorus:

But it’s you that I want tonight, I didn’t mean to push you away,
I’ve abused what I’m tonight, I’m sorry that it ended this way,

Aftermath

Verse 1:

Am I holding on to something, that I know will turn to nothing,
Can I heal these broken pieces, the one’s he doesn’t deal with,
Will he choose eventually a life of sobriety,

Pre-Chorus:

Or am I wasting time trying to save a life that’s lost,

Chorus:

Cause I’m holding on to a love that’s gone,
Can I tear down your walls and break through, 
So hold me close and don’t let go,
Cause I’m holding onto you,

Verse 2:

Am I holding on to something, that I know will turn to nothing,
Although it seems deceptive, will he change his life’s perspective,
Will he lose his ways, does he care enough to stay,

Pre-Chorus:

Or am I wasting time trying to save a life that’s lost,

Middle 8:

You’re gambling with time,
putting your life on the line,
I’m wasting my time,
putting my heart to one side,

Chorus:

Cause I’m holding on to a love that’s gone,
Can I tear down your walls and break through, 
So hold me close and don’t let go,
Cause I’m holding onto you,

Holding On

Verse 1:

Breathe me in and tear me apart,
lay me down tonight,
can’t you see I’m falling apart,
hold me in your arms,
 
Chorus:

Take me now,
I’m calling out won’t you take me baby,
don’t you know how far I’ll go,
for one moment of your sweet tender bliss,

Verse 2:

Use me up and throw away,
lost in the moment with you,
your ecstasy it always fades,
if only you would stay,

Chorus:

Take me now,
I’m calling out won’t you take me baby,
don’t you know how far I’ll go,
for one moment of your sweet tender bliss,

Middle 8:

Feel me in between your lips,
I’ll show you a perfect reality,
use me and I’ll use you too,
slowly you’ll lose your sanity,

Chorus:

Take me now,
I’m calling out won’t you take me baby,
don’t you know how far I’ll go,
for one moment of your sweet tender bliss.

Take Me

Verse 1:

Here we are just two lovers looking at the stars,
My cheeks are glowing from the wine and his hand on my thigh,
He lights up another cigarette oh my heart is pumping through my chest, 
Cause boy I love you and in my heart I know it’s true,

Chorus:

Can we stay here forever,
not with anyone else not with anyone new
Can you hold me forever,
I don’t need anyone else it’s only me and you,

Verse 2:

Here we are trust I’ll always have you in my heart,
He cuddles up close to me, close enough to hear my heartbeat,
He turns to whisper in my ear, the gentle words I’ve longed to hear,
“Darling, I love you and in my heart I know it’s you, its true, true”

Chorus:

Can we stay here forever,
not with anyone else not with anyone new
Can you hold me forever,
I don’t need anyone else it’s only me and you
