I went and bought you flowers
But I gave them away to somebody else
We made plans for hours
But I live them out with somebody else
Someone had the life had the cries had the first dance
Butterflies in the back of my old car
Oh a thousand lives
Caught in a fire
Dancing on hallowed ground
I count the times we try but I I I
I know some stories don't play out
We took a shot
But the truth is that
We couldn't live through the pain
A thousand lives
Now I'm sat here thinking what if one went right
I kept your letters in the basement
Of a house that I bought with somebody else
I went and bought a bracelet
But I wrote a different name and I engraved it
Someone had the life had the cries had the first dance
Butterflies in the back of my old car
It was gone in a rush now it's all in the dust
Oh a thousand lives
Caught in a fire
Dancing on hollow ground
And I count the times we try but I I I
I know some stories don't play out
We took a shot
But the truth is that
We couldn't live through the pain
A thousand lives
Now I'm sat here thinking what if one went right
Every face every place makes me think about it
Every doubt but it's too late now
Every street every scene makes me think about it
Every need but it's too late
A thousand lives caught in a fight
Dancing on hallowed ground
I count the times we tried but I I I
I know some stories don't play out
We took a shot
But the truth is that
We couldn't live through the pain
A thousand lives
Now I'm sat here thinking what if one went right
