I went and bought you flowers

But I gave them away to somebody else

We made plans for hours

But I lived them out with somebody else

Someone had the life had the cries had the first dance

Butterflies in the back of my old car

A thousand lives

Caught in a fire

Dancing on hallowed ground

I count the times

We tried but I I I I

Know some stories don't play out

We took a shot

But the truth is that we couldn't live through the pain

A thousand lives

Now I'm sat here thinking what if one went right

Kept your letters in the basement

Of a house that I bought with somebody else

I went and bought a bracelet

But I wrote a different name when I engraved it

Someone had the life had the cries had the first dance

Butterflies in the back of my old car

It was gone in a rush

Now it's all in the dust oh

A thousand lives

Caught in a fire

Dancing on hallowed ground

I count the times

We tried but I I I I

Know some stories don't play out

We took a shot

But the truth is that we couldn't live through the pain

A thousand lives

Now I'm sat here thinking what if one went right

Every face

Every place

Makes me think about it

Every doubt but it's too late now

Every street

Every scene

Makes me think about it

Every need but it's too late

A thousand lives

Caught in a fire

Dancing on hallowed ground

I count the times

We tried but I I I I

Know some stories don't play out

We took a shot

But the truth is that we couldn't live through the pain

A thousand lives

Now I'm sat here thinking what if one went right
