like towers falling down
like a bomb blast in your town
like a hostage tied in chains
I could not forget your name

destroy, she said
my love again
the end will come quickly
don't try again
to make amends
you'll just end up sinking
if you explode in aftermath
don't think you've been dreaming
destroy, she said
my love again
when it's not worth keeping

like a helicopter crash
like a ghetto that's been smashed
like bodies on a battlefield
I can't live with how you feel

not along and not apart
you finished what you could not start
in the corners of the day
you catch my eye and then looked away
what a generous remark you made
when you blew it all away
