Lyrics Tennessee Sky - The Icarus Account

I was moving down to Tennessee
When you decided not to come with me
All the promises and diamond rings
Couldn't keep the girl I love with me

They say wounds heal with time
Just tell yourself "tomorrow's sun will rise"
But as we whispered our final goodbyes
I had to tell you what was on my mind

Just stay here
And wait for me to breathe again
To understand and believe
That you could really be leaving me

Why does the earth spin 'round
When my world is crashing down
Why does the sun shine bright
When I've lost the light of my life
Why did I fall in love
Why did I let my guard down
You were the first girl I ever loved
And you're the last one I'll ever trust
Whoa...

And I swear that I am trying to get over you
I've even got out with some other girls a time or two
But every one I meet reminds me of the one I lost
Which brings me right back to the moment where you broke my heart

Stay
And wait for me to breathe again
To understand and believe
That you could really be leaving me

Why does the earth spin 'round
When my world is crashing down
Why does the sun shine bright
When I've lost the light of my life
Why did I fall in love
Why did I let my guard down
You were the first girl I ever loved
And you're the last one I'll ever trust
Whoa...

Just stay
And wait for me to breathe again
Just stay
And wait for me to breathe

This Tennessee sky can't dry my eyes
'Cause you
You were the first girl I ever loved

And why does the earth spin 'round
When my world is crashing down
Why does the sun shine bright
When I've lost the light of my life
Why did I fall in love
Why did I let my guard down
You were the first girl I ever loved
And you're the last one I'll ever trust

Whooaa...

I was driving down to Tennessee
Crossing rivers and mountain peaks
Hoping somewhere on the other side
There's a girl who can come and change my mind
