V1
You sit alone outside and wonder
On a swing he built when you were younger
(Those were the days)

You reminisce about the past
Try to keep him close
 (Why’d they take him away?)

Pre [bad word] You feel the bombs dropping on your heart
Like the day you heard the news
Ripped apart, torn in two
You can’t believe this happened to you
 [bad word] Is there a Brightside?  I want to know
Drawing blood, marking fields, breaking happy homes
Killing for power, as we sell our souls
Is there a Brightside?  I want to know

V2
Light a candle put on a face
Another day, it’s hard to hide the pain
(Feeling the distance)

Still make dinner for two
Pretend [bad word] home to see you
(You’re all alone)

Pre [bad word] You feel the bombs dropping on your heart
Like the day you heard the news
Ripped apart, torn in two
You can’t believe this happened to you

BRIDGE
You’ve been gone for so long
But I will carry you on…
