It shouldn't have to be A catastrophe To be loud enough to wake you up To be sad enough to make you stop and think You told me that our love was strong So I wait here and bide my time While love fades into right and wrong And I'm a falling farther away You let it crumble You only love me when I'm gone It shouldn't have to be A catastrophe To be loud enough to wake you up To be sad enough to make you stop and think I know I've been here before And I said that I'm not coming back for more But when you open your eyes tomorrow There'll be no one next to you
