Earthquake
The Used · Lies For The Liars [2007]
She had an earthquake on her mind,
I almost heard her cry out as I left her far behind
I knew the world was crashing down around her
I sink now to the ocean floor
Because I know that we are more but
I've made this mess
I built this fire, are you still mine?
Cause baby, I'm not alright when you go
I'm not fine
Please be all mine
I never want you to go because I am all yours
So please be all mine
She had an earthquake on her mind,
Apparently the kind that would bury us alive
By putting all this weight on us forever
I lie here on the ocean floor
Broken castle by the shore and
I made this mess
I built this fire, are you still mine?
Cuse baby, I'm not alright when you go
I'm not fine
Please be all mine
I never want you to go because I am all yours
So please be all mine
Let me save us
I've slaughtered us,
I've murdered our love
I can taste it, this blood in my mouth
This knife in my lungs
Have I murdered our love?
Have I murdered our love?
Cause baby, I'm not alright when you go
I'm not fine
Yeah, please be all mine
I never want you to go because I am all yours
So please be all mine
I almost heard her cry out as I left her far behind
I knew the world was crashing down around her
I sink now to the ocean floor
Because I know that we are more but
I've made this mess
I built this fire, are you still mine?
Cause baby, I'm not alright when you go
I'm not fine
Please be all mine
I never want you to go because I am all yours
So please be all mine
She had an earthquake on her mind,
Apparently the kind that would bury us alive
By putting all this weight on us forever
I lie here on the ocean floor
Broken castle by the shore and
I made this mess
I built this fire, are you still mine?
Cuse baby, I'm not alright when you go
I'm not fine
Please be all mine
I never want you to go because I am all yours
So please be all mine
Let me save us
I've slaughtered us,
I've murdered our love
I can taste it, this blood in my mouth
This knife in my lungs
Have I murdered our love?
Have I murdered our love?
Cause baby, I'm not alright when you go
I'm not fine
Yeah, please be all mine
I never want you to go because I am all yours
So please be all mine
