The birds have left the trees
The light bores onto me
I can feel you lying there all on your own

We got here the hard way
All those words that we exchange
Is it any wonder things get dark?

'Cause in my heart and in my head
I'll never take back the things I said
So high above
I feel it coming down; she said
In my heart and in my head
Tell me why this has to end, oh no
Oh no

I can't save us, my Atlantis, we fall
We built this town on shaky ground
I can't save us, my Atlantis, oh no
We built it up to pull it down

Now all the birds have fled
The hurt just leaves me scared
Losing everything I've ever known


It's all become too much
Maybe I'm not built for love
If I knew that I could reach you, I would go

It's in my heart and in my head
You can't take back the things you said
So high above
I feel it coming down; she said
In my heart and in my head
Tell me why this has to end, oh no
Oh no

I can't save us, my Atlantis, we fall
We built this town on shaky ground
I can't save us, my Atlantis, oh no
We built it up to pull it down

And we build it up and we build it up
And we build it up to pull it down
And we build it up and we build it up
And we build it up to pull it down

I can't save us, my Atlantis, we fall
We built this town on shaky ground
I can't save us, my Atlantis, oh no
We built it up to pull it down

The birds have left the trees
The light bores onto me
I can feel you lying there all on your own

We got here the hard way
All those words that we exchange
Is it any wonder things get dark?

'Cause in my heart and in my head
I'll never take back the things I said
So high above
I feel it coming down; she said
In my heart and in my head
Tell me why this has to end, oh no
Oh no

I can't save us, my Atlantis, we fall
We built this town on shaky ground
I can't save us, my Atlantis, oh no
We built it up to pull it down

Now all the birds have fled
The hurt just leaves me scared
Losing everything I've ever known


It's all become too much

And we build it up to pull it down
And we build it up and we build it up
And we build it up to pull it down
