This house, this room
This bed where we both sacrificed too soon
One kiss sparked up the past
Turned a hot night into something that might last
And you said, “It’s alright”
You said, “It’s alright”
Still, I put up a fight
We ran just like the wind
Chasing lightning, and back again
It seemed so evident
That we never, ever had a chance to win
And you said, “It’s alright”
You said, “It’s alright”
Still, I put up a fight
We gave more than our share
Expecting nothing but what was fair
I came so close to tears
Not even you, alone, could suffer all your fears
And I said, “It’s alright”
I said, “It’s alright”
Still, you put up a fight
This house, this room
This bed that’s now all dressed up like a tomb
No kiss could make it last
So we resign the pain to just part of the past
And we say, “It’s alright”
We say, “It’s alright”
No one puts up a fight
