[Verse 1]
When the fighting is over
'Cause our mouths have just run dry
As our feelings get colder
There's nothing to hold us now
Gave all this time just to be let down

[Chorus]
Can you explain to me?
What has become of us?
With words released
We can never take them back
Not even pleading can save us

[Verse 2]
I know you'll meet someone better
But would you still think of me
If he can't hold you like I did
Would you run back to me?
Yes, I know this pain shall pass
Gave all this time still we couldn't last

[Chorus]
Explain to me
What has become of us?
With words released
We can never take them back
For all that were worth now
Not even pleading can save us
[Bridge]
How did we end this way?
Our promises thrown away
All the years we built, broken up
See it crashing down
I have to say
Though alone in this crazy sea of faces
It's still your face I wanna know

[Chorus]
Explain to me
What has become of us?
With words released
We can never take them back
For all that were worth now
Not even pleading can save us
Can't save us now

[Outro]
The fighting is over
The fighting is over
The fighting is over
The fighting is over now
