One cold night The times of our lives Happy together Soaring forever Out on the tiles Living for us But we didn’t know The cost of our love To step into our world Our tragedy unfurled We only had each other All it took was for another To ruin everything Ruin everything Future’s looking certain Wonder where we’ll be Worries count for nothing Us is all we need We stepped into the night He was blinded by our light Hatred in his heart To rip our world apart To step into our world Our tragedy unfurled We only had each other All it took was for another To ruin everything Ruin everything To step into our world Our tragedy unfurled We only had each other All it took was for another To ruin everything Ruin everything Everything
