Snow Patrol - What If Nothing Breaks? Lyrics

He stops just before he says
"Oh, I never lived before you
And I sure as hell won't live after you're gone"
She waits for the words to come
But they never fill the silence
And it seems like silence now is all they have
Somehow from above himself
He saw them smashed into the pieces
That she had stuck together patiently for years
Now drink, let's drink to our health
And they can fold us in the creases
So that no one sees us shatter into tears

He says
"I don't know how to make this right"
She says
"Well, just stop trying to make this right
And what if nothing breaks
What were you bracing for?"
She says

Somehow he can feel her still
But like the sky painted on ocean
Oh, it only takes a ripple to dissolve
Some pain only light can kill
So let's dissuade you from the notion
That this is gonna take a miracle to solve

He says
"I don't know how to make this right"
She says
"Well, just stop trying to make this right
And what if nothing breaks
What were you bracing for?"
She says

He says
"I don't know how to make this right"
She says
"Well, just stop trying to make this right
And what if nothing breaks
What were you bracing for?"
She says

He says
"I don't know how to make this right"
She says
"Well, just stop trying to make this right
And what if nothing breaks
What were you bracing for?"
She says
