The birds have left the trees, the light bores onto me I can feel you lying there all on your own We got here the hard way, all those words that we exchange Is it any wonder things get dark?
'Cause in my heart and in my head, I'll never take back the things I said So high above, I feel it coming down She said, "In my heart and in my head, tell me why this has to end" Oh, no, oh, no
I can't save us, my Atlantis We fall, we built this town on shaky ground I can't save us, my Atlantis Oh, no, we built it up to pull it down
Now all the birds have fled, the hurt just leaves me scared Losing everything I've ever known It's all become too much, maybe I'm not built for love If I knew that I could reach you, I would go
It's in my heart and in my head, you can't take back the things you said So high above, I feel it coming down She said, "In my heart and in my head, tell me why this has to end" Oh, no, oh, no
I can't save us, my Atlantis We fall, we built this town on shaky ground I can't save us, my Atlantis Oh, no, we built it up to pull it down
Yeah, we built it up and we built it up Yeah, we built it up to pull it down And we built it up and we built it up And we built it up to pull it down
I can't save us (save), my Atlantis We fall, we built this town on shaky ground I can't save us (I can't save), my Atlantis Oh, no, we built it up to pull it down
