atom bomb

eight days

eight nights

spent trying to sort through the aftermath

it's quiet

too quiet

this silence sounds like a thunderclap

and all i wanted was somebody to trust

but all you wanted was somebody to want you

in this toxic love we're chemicals waiting to react

and then i went and set you off with goodbye

and now we're just a mushroom cloud in the sky

and there's no silver lining

only just surviving

and through the smoke all i could see were your eyes

and boy

i've never burned so bad from the fire

and they could see the ashes falling for miles

and now there's just no ending

only all this wreckage

we weren't just wrong

we were an atom bomb

what's yours

what's mine

keep trying to pick up what's left of me

breathe slow

let go

but the smoke just keeps suffocating me

maybe you were already on fire

and maybe when you touched me so was i

i should have known we would explode

cause i saw the signs

and then i went and set you off with goodbye

and now we're just a mushroom cloud in the sky

and there's no silver lining

only just surviving

and through the smoke all i could see were your eyes

and boy

i've never burned so bad from the fire

and they could see the ashes falling for miles

and now there's just no ending

only all this wreckage

we weren't just wrong

we were an atom bomb

just watching all these embers fall like rain coming down

strange not to talk

not write

not call you when you're not around

your love so dangerous

your touch like a spark on my gasoline heart

and then i went and set you off with goodbye

and now we're just a mushroom cloud in the sky

and there's no silver lining

only just surviving

and through the smoke all i could see were your eyes

and boy

i've never burned so bad from the fire

and they could see the ashes falling for miles

and now there's just no ending

only all this wreckage

we weren't just wrong

we were an atom bomb
