A Thousand And One

원문

How have you been? How would I know?

It's been a while since we were close

You've taken your leave: it's the easy way out

Next time, can we stop it tumbling down?

This is how we broke

This is how we broke

I always knew when I was wrong

But I never said sorry

Now I'd say it a thousand and one

I always hoped that I could change

Try and write a different story

But I made all the same mistakes

Where have you been? How have you grown?

The way I behaved, I knew all along

Eventually, you're beginning to shout

You're breathing it in, trying hard not to spit it out

But this is how we broke

This is how we broke

I always knew when I was wrong

But I never said sorry

Now I'd say it a thousand and one

I always hoped that I could change

Try and write a different story

But I made all the same mistakes

If you had the chance again, would you let me

Show you what I've lost?

I've shed the burden of memory

This time the path ahead can be yours and mine

I hope we're walking side-by-side

I always knew when I was wrong

And I should have said sorry

Now I will say whatever you want

I always hoped to turn the page

And start a brand new story

Erase the mistakes and make the change

This is how we grow

This is how we grow
