A Thousand Lives

MaisI went and bought you flowersBut I gave them away to somebody elseWe made plans for hoursBut I lived them out with somebody elseSomeone had the life, had the cries, had the first danceButterflies in the back of my old carA thousand livesCaught in a fire, I, I, IDancing on hallowed groundI count the timesWe tried but I, I, I, IKnow some stories don't play outWe took a shotBut the truth is that we couldn't live through the painA thousand livesNow I'm sat here thinking what if one went rightI kept your letters in the basementOf a house that I bought with somebody elseI went and bought a braceletBut I wrote a different name when I engraved itSomeone had the life, had the cries, had the first danceButterflies in the back of my old carIt was gone in a rushNow it's all in the dust, ohA thousand livesCaught in a fire, I, I, IDancing on hallowed groundI count the timesWe tried but I, I, I, IKnow some stories don't play outWe took a shotBut the truth is that we couldn't live through the painA thousand livesNow I'm sat here thinking what if one went rightEvery faceEvery placeMakes me think about itEvery doubt, but it's too late nowEvery streetEvery sceneMakes me think about itEvery need, but it's too lateA thousand livesCaught in a fire, I, I, IDancing on hallowed groundI count the timesWe tried but I, I, I, IKnow some stories don't play outWe took a shotBut the truth is that we couldn't live through the painA thousand livesNow I'm sat here thinking what if one went right
