[Verse 1] The birds have left the trees The light bores onto me I can feel you lying there all on your own
We got here the hard way All those words that we exchanged Is it any wonder things get dark?
[Pre-Chorus] Cause in my heart and in my hand I've never taken back the things I send, so I'm bold "I feel it coming down", she said In my heart and in my hand Tell my why this has to end Oh, no [x2]
[Chorus] I can't save us My Atlantis, we fall We built this town on shaky ground I can't save us My Atlantis, oh, no We build it on to pull it down
[Verse 2] Now all them birds have fled The hurt has left me scared Losing everything I've ever known It's all become too much Maybe I'm not built for love If I knew that I could reach you, I would call
[Pre-Chorus] It's in my heart and in my hand You can't take back the things you said, so I'm [?] "I feel it coming down", she said In my heart and in my hand Tell my why this has to end Oh, no [x2]
[Chorus]
[Bridge] [x2] And we build it up [x2] And we build it on to pull it down
