James Blunt - A Thousand Lives

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Someone had the life, had the cries, had the first dance
Butterflies in the back of my old car

[Chorus]
A thousand lives
Caught in a fire, I, I, I
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 onе went right

[Verse 2]
I kept your lettеrs 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

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
A thousand lives
Caught in a fire, I, I, I
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
A thousand lives
Caught in a fire, I, I, I
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
