Cause our love has never changed

Don't make it harder than it is

We both knew it come to this

Better now than in a year

The fuse is already lit

Just let it go...

And we're so tired of being misunderstood

We're just too close to the edge

And what's the use of going on
A
If we're lying to each other

Every word that is said
Its too late for us now

Cause we can never count down

Its getting close, its gonna blow
