An end has a start/ The Editors.
don’t think that it’s
Gonna rain again today,
There's a devil at your side,
But an angel on the way
Someone hit the light,
Cause there's more here to be seen,
When you caught my eye,
I saw everywhere I'd been
And what I go to...
You came on your own,
And that's how you'll leave,
With hope in your hands,
And air to breathe,
I won’t disappoint you,
As you fall apart,
Some things should be simple,
Even an end has a start,
Someone hit the light,
Cause there's more here to be seen,
When you caught my eye,
I saw everywhere I'd been
And what I go to...
You came on your own,
And that's how you'll leave,
With hope in your hands,
And air to breathe,
You'll lose everything,
But in the end,
Still my broken limbs,
Will find time to mend
More and more people I
Know are getting ill
(Put something good on the,
Ashes now be still)
You came on your own,
That's how you'll leave,
With hope in your hands,
And air to breathe,
You'll lose everything,
But in the end,
Still my broken limbs,
Will find time to mend
