Lyrics

VERSE 1
It's the morning, rain is pouring
she cried herself to sleep
Can't stop shaking, heart is breaking
miles above the street

PRE-CHORUS
Couldn't jump, couldn't speak
couldn't seem to feel anything

HALF-CHORUS
Funny how the smallest words
can make or break your entire world

VERSE 2
It's past midnight, not the best light
he whispers in her ear
I have to tell you, I have lost you
I don't love you anymore

PRE-CHORUS
Couldn't breathe, couldn't speak
couldn't seem to feel anything

CHORUS
Funny how the smallest words
can make or break your entire world
The sound they make disappears in space
but oh, those words just keep hangin on

BRIDGE
Try to hang on

CHORUS
Funny how the smallest words
can make or break your entire world
The sound they make disappears in space
but oh, those words just keep hangin on
