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
ah, but 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 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)
Chorus
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
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
verse 2
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)
Chorus
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
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
BRIDGE
?drifted away, drifted away? one by one and day by day
i became the dark in the places where you live
Chorus
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
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
