If I thought it would help, I would drive this car into the sea If the fire and smoke and explosions could speak for me If the words that I used to try to explain how something inside of me started to break I would - one by one, my words just got in the way
How many nights did I crash against the waves with my head going under? How many days did I spend trying to see it your way - if you try, you'd remember I changed and changed and kept on saying "One of these days, something inside's gonna break and we won't get it back now, baby" (something's gonna break)
And if I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart And if I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart And all of the things that I tried to explain, how something inside of me started to break We were living proof - one by one, we drifted away
One by one, we drifted away
And time after time there were things that would scare me to tears, while you called me haunted I paced around the bed where you laid One of these days, baby, something - something's gonna break
And if I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart And if I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart And all of the things that I tried to explain, how something inside of me started to break We were living proof - one by one, we drifted away
Away, hey, yeah Drifted away, hey, yeah
One by one and day by day, I became the dark in the places where we lived
And if I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart And if I thought it would help, I would carve your name into my heart And all of the things that I tried to explain, how something inside of me started to break We were living proof - one by one, we drifted away
One by one, we drifted away
We were living proof - one by one, we drifted away
