Alibi

30 Seconds to Mars · This Is War [2009]

No warning sign, no alibi

We faded faster than the speed of light

Took a chance, crashed and burned

No we'll never ever learn



I fell apart, but got back up again

And then I fell apart, but got back up again



We both could see crystal clear

That the inevitable end was near

Made our choice, a trial by fire

To battle is the only way we feel alive



I fell apart, but got back up again

And then I fell apart, but got back up again

And then I fell apart, but got back up again



Way, oh, Way, oh

Way, oh, Way, oh

Way, oh



So here we are, the witching hour

The quickest tongue to divide and devour

Divide and devour



If I could end the quest for fire

For truth, for love, for my desire

My desire



And I fell apart, but got back up again



Way, oh, Way, oh

Way, oh, Way, oh

Way, oh, Way, oh

Way, oh, Way, oh

Way, oh



I fell apart, I fell apart

I fell apart, I fell apart

I fell apart



But got back up again
