Atom Bomb
[Intro]
We were an atom bomb

[Verse 1]
Eight days, eight nights spent trying to sort through the aftermath
It's quiet, too quiet, this silence sounds like a thunderclap

[Verse 2]
And all I wanted was somebody to trust
But all you wanted was somebody to want you
In this toxic love we're chemicals waiting to react

[Chorus]
And then I went and set you off with goodbye
And now we're just a mushroom cloud in the sky
And there's no silver lining, only just surviving
And through the smoke all I could see were your eyes
And boy, I've never burned so bad from the fire
And they could see the ashes falling from miles
And now there's just no ending, only all this wreckage

[Post-Chorus]
We weren't just wrong, we were an atom bomb

[Verse 3]
What's yours, what's mine
Keep trying to pick up what’s left of me (Pick of what’s left of me)
Breathe slow, let go but that smoke just keeps suffocating me (Keeps suffocating me)
[Verse 4]
Maybe you were already on fire
And maybe when you touched me so was I
I should have known we would explode 'cause I saw the signs

[Chorus]
And then I went and set you off with goodbye
And now we're just a mushroom cloud in the sky
And there's no silver lining, only just surviving
And through the smoke all I could see were your eyes
And boy, I've never burned so bad from the fire
And they could see the ashes falling from miles
And now there's just no ending, only all this wreckage

[Post-Chorus]
We weren't just wrong, we were an atom bomb

[Bridge]
Just watching all those embers fall like rain coming down
Strange not to talk, not write, not call you when you're not around
Your love so dangerous
Your touch like a spark on my gasoline heart

[Chorus]
And then I went and set you off with goodbye
And now we're just a mushroom cloud in the sky
And there's no silver lining, only just surviving
And through the smoke all I could see were your eyes
And boy, I've never burned so bad from the fire
And they could see the ashes falling from miles
And now there's just no ending, only all this wreckage
[Post-Chorus]
We weren't just wrong, we were an atom bomb
