  • Did the best that I could
    Said I'd die for you and I would
    But I drowned all those feelings in the flood

    Need to know if you're there
    If you're listening to my prayers to my tears
    Feel like raindrops through the mud

    How was I to know that a year ago I'd need to read between the lines
    And every lie and thats why

    Every time I fall asleep my dreams are haunted
    And every time I close my eyes I'm not alone
    And every time I cry I'm right back where you wanted
    I try to drown you out so down goes another one
    (Down goes another one)
    Down goes another one
    (Down goes another one)
    Down goes another one
    (Down goes another one)

    Living Fast
    Dying young
    But I'm living with what you've done
    Now I face accusations
    I won't run
    No

    I'm starting to remember things that you said
    I'm unravelling what they meant
    But the world moves on
    You're just another one

    And how can I go on
    'Cause when I'm in the sun I see your shadow on the ground
    But you're never there when I turn around

    Every time I fall asleep my dreams are haunted
    And every time I close my eyes I'm not alone
    And every time I cry I'm right back where you wanted
    I try to drown you out so down goes another one

    Whoo

    And how can I go on
    'Cause when I'm in the sun I see your shadow on the ground
    (Shadow on the ground)
    But you're never there when I turn around

    'Cause every time I fall asleep my dreams are haunted
    (My dreams are haunted)
    And every time I close my eyes I'm not alone
    And every time I cry I'm right back where you wanted
    (Right back where you wanted)
    I try to drown you out so down goes another one
    (Hey)
    Down goes another one
    (Down goes another one)
    Down goes another one
    (Hey)
    Down goes another one
    (Down goes another one)
    Down goes another on
    Down goes another one
    (Down goes another one)
    Down goes another one) Writer/s: Daniel Jones, Dougie Lee Poynter, Thomas Michael Fletcher
