Lyrics

We've watched a thousand sunrises
We've shared 80 million ticks of the clock
Every day wasn't rainbows and roses
But we smiled way more often than not
We were one, we were
One body, one mind, one soul
With what it takes to live forever
Something still made you let go

You let us die
Though we weren't done breathin'
You let us die
Though our heart was still beatin'
I wonder why
You stopped wanting to try
You made our time much too short
Cut us off life support
You let us die

We've been on clouds and in tunnels
Yet our brightest day was still within view
We'd hit walls just like this one before
And I thought that we'd always break through
Like a flower with
No water, no sun, no air
We were so beautiful but we just
Wilted 'cause you didn't care

You let us die
Though we weren't done breathin'
You let us die
Though our heart was still beatin'
I wonder why
You lost faith in our life
It's all faded to black
We're just ashes now that
You let us die

When we close our eyes
And our souls move along
Hope you realize
This was wrong...wrong...wrong...wrong!

You let us die
Though we weren't done breathin'
You let us die
Though our heart was still beatin'
I wonder why
You stopped wanting to try
You made our time much too short
Cut us off life support
You let us die
Though we weren't done breathin'
You let us die
Though our heart was still beatin'
I wonder why
You lost faith in our life
It's all faded to black
We're just ashes now that
You let us die
You let us die
You let us die
Oooh, oooh
You let us die
