Lyrics

2012

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You think you are invincible
When in fact you're powerless
You're missing the principle
You'll fear the loneliness

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

It's just like time has stopped
It's always someone's fault
Turn back the hands of the clock
I'll turn into a pillar of salt

A tragedy brings misery
Misery loves company
Company is misleading
I've made it this far without you
Without you, without you

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

So quick to seal our fate
Give it a second chance
We'll hurry up and wait
Victims of circumstance

A tragedy brings misery
Misery loves company
Company is misleading
I've made it this far without you
Without you

My heart may never beat again, baby
Or have you got the best of me?
My heart may never beat again, baby
Or have you got the best of me?

My heart may never beat again, baby
Or have you got the best of me?
My heart may never beat again, baby
Or have you got the best of me? Baby, baby

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

You think you are invincible
You're missing the principle
You think you are invincible
You're missing the principle

A tragedy brings misery
Misery loves company
Company is misleading
I've made it this far without you
Without you, without you

I've made it this far without you
