[Verse 1]
When the war was lost
I had to see it all, I had to see it all
When the love was dying out
I had to be the one to frown
When hope ain't there for you
Learned to read the signs
And now I see the truth
I realise, oh

[Chorus]
You bring out the best in me
When our ashes burn to the ground
You bring out the best in me
When your tainted words can't pull me down, no
You're long gone, you're long gone
You're long gone

[Verse 2]
You left my heart in chains
I had to break away, I had to break away
Kept in the dark for too long
I had to see the light of day
And hope ain't there for you
You learned to read the signs
And now I see the truth
I realise, oh
[Chorus]
