▼
Where the past comes back to life (life, life)
Fight fear for the selfish pain
It was worth it every time (every ti-ti-time)
Hold still right before we crash
'Cause we both know how this ends
Our clock ticks till it breaks your glass
And I drown in you again (you again)
'Cause you are the piece of me
I wish I didn't need
Chasin' relentlessly
Still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy
Why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity
Why are you my clarity?
Why-y are you my clarity?
Insanity
Why are you my clarity?
If our love is tragedy
Why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity
Why are you my clarity?
Walk on through a red parade
And refuse to make amends
It cuts deep through our ground and makes us
Forget all common sense (makes us forget all common sense)
Don't speak as I try to leave
'Cause we both know what we'll choose
If you pull, then I'll push too deep
And I'll fall right back to you
'Cause you are the piece of me
I wish I didn't need
Chasin' relentlessly
Still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy
Why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity
Why are you my clarity?
If our love is tragedy
Why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity
Why are you my clarity?
If our love—, if our love—, if our love—
If our love is tragedy
Why are you my clarity?
