[lyrics]
A single word can cause a break
And a glance confirms a doubt
In the air a fog of hate
Forgetting what this is about
I recall tears and streetlights
You walk away into the crowd

City on fire, our love’s in the rubble
In the ashes, the smell of perfume
City on fire, hope is frozen
Daylight’s fading, night is falling

You were right to turn away
Knowing when the cause is lost
A single word can cause a break
No more lines to cross

Each step you take hits like a dagger
All our lies unearthed a ruse
You brought the match—I lit the fuse
