    Signs don't show
    You drove me
    Off the road

    But you let go
    'Cause your hope is gone
    And every question fades away

    It's a shame you don't know what you're running from
    Would your bones have to break and your lights turn off
    Would it take the end of time to hear you heart's false start?

    You know this is your biggest mistake
    What a waste, what a waste, what a waste
    And of all the things you never explained
    Well you know this is your biggest mistake

    You tread water
    Fighting for the air in your lungs
    Move
    Move closer
    Maybe you can right all your wrongs

    But you let go
    'Cause your hope is gone
    And every answer fades away

    It's a shame you don't know what you're running from
    Would your bones have to break and your lights turn off
    Would it take the end of time to hear your hearts false start?

    You know this is your biggest mistake
    What a waste, what a waste, what a waste
    And of all the things you never explained
    Well you know this is your biggest mistake

    Wipe the mud spray from the face stop the engine
    Stop pretending
    Wipe the mud spray from your face stop the engine,
    Stop pretending, that you're still breathing

    It's a shame you don't know what you're running from
    Would your bones have to break and your lights turn off
    Would it take the end of time to hear your hearts false start?

    You know this is your biggest mistake
    What a waste, what a waste, what a waste
    And of all the things you never explained
    Well you know this is your biggest mistake

    You know this is your biggest mistake
    What a waste, what a waste, what a waste
    And of all the things you never explained
    Well you know this is your biggest mistake Writer/s: ELLIE GOULDING, FRASER LANCE THORNEYCROFT SMITH
