Sometimes I pretend to know
What keeps two young hearts beating
It's often unclear if whether an idea
So perfect on paper is cheating

The true meaning fades behind
Hopes and excuses (yeah)
Metaphors and misuses of cliché lines
All too familiar

Understand me
Life's an apology
But I'll never say I'm sorry
When I wasn't the first to fall

Hear me
For all that's dear to me is
Genuine and real
I wasn't the first to fall

So time is what you need
Time is what I'll give
(I'll give it to you babe)
And when you come to find yourself
I'll show you how to live

'Cause I've been scared of times like these
Reasons alone aren't good enough please
Feel the sudden silence for it wasn't me

Understand me
Life's an apology
But I'll never say I'm sorry
When I wasn't the first to fall

Hear me
For all that's dear to me is
Genuine and real
I wasn't the first to fall

I wasn't the first to fall
So I surely wont be the last
I drove far, far, far
Far away from it all
Until I finally crashed
Until I finally crashed
