End Of The Empire Lyrics - Love At The End Of The World - Sam Roberts

Witness the end of the empire, the Romans of our time 

Start little fires then they get too high 

You fan the flames and they still remain 

Long after you lose desire 

Then a breakdown turns to a heart attack 

And it's far too late, you'll never bring it back 

You can take what you want from me 

But you better believe that I can see you 

Watch the sun set on the empire 

One last round as it goes down 

Start a little fire in your best attire 

You can blame the gin for the mess you're in 

Take a pension and retire 

Then a breakdown turns to a heart attack 

And it's far too late, you'll never bring it back 

You can take what you want from me 

But you better believe that I can see you 

You can run but you can't hide 

From that feeling buried deep inside 

Let's forget if only for tonight 

Hold your lover and your secrets tight 

We're all wasted 

You know the end, I can taste it 

I'm walking away this time 

I'm leaving it all behind 

Breakdown turns into a heart attack 

And it's far too late, you'll never bring it back 

You can take what you want from me 

But you better believe that I can see you 

Stick to the facts 'cause the facts don't lie 

Stick to your guns when the bullets fly 

Stick to the wall when the light sweeps by 

Stick in the mud over one in the eye 

One part breaks it was made defective 

The wheel don't turn ?cause it's all connected 

Six feet down being resurrected 

Heart says yes but your body rejects it 

You can take what you want from me 

But you better believe that I can see you 

You can take what you want from me 

But you better believe that I can see you 

You can run but you can't hide 

From that feeling buried deep inside 

Let's forget if only for tonight 

Hold your lover and your secrets tight 

We're all wasted 

You know the end, I can taste it 

I'm walking away this time 

I'm leaving it all behind 

I'm walking away this time 

I'm leaving it all behind 

For you
