VERSE:
The birds have left their trees
The light pours 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 brooooooke
PRE-CHORUS:
'Cause in my heart and in my head
I'll never take back the things I said,
So high above
"I feel it coming down", she said
In my heart and in my head
Tell my why this has to end
Oh, no
Oh, nooooooooo
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 up to pull it down
VERSE:
Now all the birds have fled
The hurt just leaves 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 gooo-oooo
PRE-CHORUS:
It's in my heart and in my head
You can't take back the things you said,
So high above
"I feel it coming down", she said
In my heart and in my head
Tell my why this has to end
Oh, no
Oh, noooooooo
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 up to pull it down
And we built it up
And we built it up
And we built it up to pull it down
And we built it up
And we built it up
And we built it up to pull it down
CHORUS/OUTRO:
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 up to pull it down
