If I thought it would help, I would drive this car into the sea
If the fire and the smoke and explosions could speak for me
If the words that I used to try to explain
How something inside of me started to break
Ah, but one by one my words just got in the way
And how many nights did I crash against the waves
With my head going under
How many days did I spend trying to see it your way
If you try you'd remember
I changed a change and kept on saying
One of these days something inside's gonna break
And we won't get it back now, baby something's gonna break
If I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart
If I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart
And if I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart
If I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart
All of the things that I tried to explain
How something inside of me started to break
We were living proof, one by one we drifted away
One by one we drifted away
And time after time there were things that would scare me to tears
While you called me haunted
I paced around the bed where you laid
One of these days baby, something something's gonna break
And if I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart
If I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart
And if I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart
If I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart
All of the things that I tried to explain
How something inside of me started to break
We were living proof, one by one we drifted away
Drifted away
One by one and day by day
I became the dark in the places where you live
And if I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart
If I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart
And if I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart
If I thought it would help I would carve your name into my heart
All of the things that I tried to explain
How something inside of me started to break
We were living proof, one by one we drifted away
One by one we drifted away
We were living proof, one by one we drifted away
