## Lyrics

[Verse]

I lost a lot of friends and hope

I tried to stop, stop, stop

But it never, ever was enough

I tried to get him back, but I see

That it's too late, late, late

And I watched him fade

[Pre-Chorus]

I didn't want it

I didn't need it

And yet repeat it

Tell me how to recognise

I didn't see it

I wanna leave it

Why did I get here?

Tell me how I lost it

[Chorus]

Tell me how I got you

Tell me what was wrong

Tell me exactly what I've done

What happened to everything I've wanted

What happened to my dreams, now are they haunted?

Tell me what I needed

Tell me what was right

Tell me about everything all night

What happened to everything I've wanted?

What happened to my dreams, now are they haunted?

Yeah

[Post-Chorus]

I watched him fade away

I watched him fade away

I watched him fade away

I watched him fade

[Verse]

I lost a lot of friends and hope

I tried to stop, stop, stop

But it never, ever was enough

I tried to get him back, but I see

That it's too late, late, late

And I watched him fade

[Pre-Chorus]

I didn't want it

I didn't need it

And yet repeat it

Tell me how to recognise

I didn't see it

I wanna leave it

Why did I get here?

Tell me how I lost it

[Chorus]

Tell me how I got you

Tell me what was wrong

Tell me exactly what I've done

What happened to everything I've wanted

What happened to my dreams, now are they haunted?

Tell me what I needed

Tell me what was right

Tell me about everything all night

What happened to everything I've wanted?

What happened to my dreams, now are they haunted?

Yeah

[Post-Chorus]

I watched him fade away

I watched him fade away

I watched him fade away

I watched him fade

[Bridge]

I watched it all go away

Until I really got to see

I lost it all on my way

Can't it come back to me?

I wanna get back to where

Everything has been ok

I watched it all fade away, fade away

I watched him fade away

[Chorus]

Tell me how I got you

Tell me what was wrong

Tell me exactly what I've done

What happened to everything I've wanted

What happened to my dreams, now are they haunted?

Tell me what I needed

Tell me what was right

Tell me about everything all night

What happened to everything I've wanted?

What happened to my dreams, now are they haunted?

Yeah

[Post-Chorus]

I watched him fade away

I watched him fade away

I watched him fade away

I watched him fade

[Outro]

Tell me how I got here

Tell me what was wrong

Everything I wanted

All my dreams hunted

Tell me what I needed

Tell me what was right

Everything I wanted
