Текст песни A Thousand Lives - Bonus Track - James Blunt

I went and bought you flowers
But I gave them away to somebody else
We made plans for hours
But I lived them out with somebody else

Someone had the life, had the cries, had the first dance
Butterflies in the back of my old car

A thousand lives caught in a fire
Dancing on hallowed ground
I count the times we tried, but I, I, I, I
Know some stories don't play out
We took a shot
But the truth is that we couldn't live through the pain
A thousand lives
Now I'm sat here, thinking, what if one went right?

I kept your letters in the basement
Of a house that I bought with somebody else
I went and bought a bracelet
But I wrote a different name when I engraved it

Someone had the life, had the cries, had the first dance
Butterflies in the back of my old car
It was gone in a rush, now it's all in the dust, oh

A thousand lives caught in a fire
Dancing on hallowed ground
I count the times we tried, but I, I, I, I
Know some stories don't play out
We took a shot
But the truth is that we couldn't live through the pain
A thousand lives
Now I'm sat here, thinking, what if one went right?

Every face, every place makes me think about it
Every doubt, but it's too late now
Every street, every scene makes me think about it
Every need, but it's too late

A thousand lives caught in a fire
Dancing on hallowed ground
I count the times we tried, but I, I, I, I
Know some stories don't play out
We took a shot
But the truth is that we couldn't live through the pain
A thousand lives
Now I'm sat here, thinking, what if one went right?
