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
