a thousand and one

Biffy Clyro

How have you been? How would I know?
It s been a while since we were close
You ve taken your leave, it s the easy way out
Next time, can we stop it tumbling down?

This is how we broke
This is how we broke

I always knew when I was wrong
But I never said sorry
Now I d say it a thousand and one
I always hoped that I could change
Try and write a different story
But I made all the same mistakes

Where have you been? How have you grown?
The way I behaved, I knew all along
Eventually, you re beginning to shout
You re breathing it in, trying hard not to spit it out

But this is how we broke
This is how we broke

I always knew when I was wrong
But I never said sorry
Now I d say it a thousand and one
I always hoped that I could change
Try and write a different story
But I made all the same mistakes

If you had the chance again, would you let me
Show you what I ve lost?
I ve shed the burden of memory
This time, the path ahead can be yours and mine
I hope we re walking side by side

I always knew when I was wrong
And I should have said sorry
Now I will say whatever you want
I always hoped to turn the page
And start a brand new story
Erase the mistakes and make the change

This is how we grow
This is how we grow
