Michael:
Don't talk, let me think it over
How are we gonna fix this?
How are we gonna undo all the pain?
Tell me, is it even worth it?
Looking for a straight line
Taking back the time we can't replace

Luke:
All the crossed wires
Just making us tired
Is it too late to bring us back to life?

All:
When I close my eyes and try to sleep
I fall apart, I find it hard to breathe
You're the reason, the only reason
Even though my dizzy head is numb
I swear my heart is never giving up
You're the reason, the only reason

Calum:
I feel you burning under my skin
I swear I see you shining
Brighter than the flame inside your eyes

Michael:
Bitter words spoken
Everything broken
It's never too late to bring us back to life

All:
When I close my eyes and try to sleep
I fall apart, I find it hard to breathe
You're the reason, the only reason
Even though my dizzy head is numb
I swear my heart is never giving up
You're the reason, the only reason

Oh, oh, oh, only reason, the only reason
Oh, oh, oh, only reason, the only reason

Michael:
Don't talk, let me think it over
How we gonna fix this?
How we gonna undo all the pain?

All:
When I close my eyes and try to sleep
I fall apart, I find it hard to breathe
You're the reason, the only reason
Even though my dizzy head is numb
I swear my heart is never giving up
You're the reason, the only reason

When I close my eyes and try to sleep
I fall apart, I find it hard to breathe
You're the reason, the only reason
Even though my dizzy head is numb
I swear my heart is never giving up
You're the reason, the only reason
