James Blunt A Thousand Lives Lyrics

I went and bought the 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 times
Butterflies in the back of my own car, oh
A thousand lives
Caught in a fire, ah-ah-ah
Dancing on hot low 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 saying, thinking, what if I'm damn 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 and I ain't grieving
Someone had the life, had the cries, had the first times
Butterflies in the back of my own car
It was gone in a rush, and now it′s all in a dust hole
A thousand lives
Caught in a fire, ah-ah-ah
Dancing on hot low ground
And 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 saying, thinking, what if I'm damn right?
Every face, every place makes me think about it
Every doubt, but it′s too late now
Every street, every seat makes me think about it
Every need, but it's too late
A thousand lives
Caught in a fire, ah-ah-ah
Dancing on hot low ground
I count the times we tried
But I-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 saying, thinking, what if I′m damn right?
