The National - Never Tear Us Apart Lyrics

Don't ask me
What you know is true
I don't have to tell you
I love your precious heart

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears
I told you
That we could fly
'Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why

I
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart

I (don't ask me)
I was standing (what you know is true)
You were there (worlds collided)
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

You (don't ask me)
You were standing (what you know is true)
I was there (worlds collided)
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart

I (don't ask me)
I was standing (what you know is true)
You were there (worlds collided)
Two worlds collided
And they could never tear us apart
