BANG BOOM BAM
I’m startled, afraid
BANG BOOM BAM
I’m all alone again

The light flashes, illuminating your face
Quiet and docile, in such a disheveled place
The sounds claps again, resonating through the sky
My heart skips a beat, I look but do not find
Gone, fear seems to have driven you away
Why did you have sense to leave? When I foolishly stayed
Seconds later, the light returns again
In an instant, my life was doomed to end

BANG BOOM BAM
I’m startled, afraid
BANG BOOM BAM
I’m all alone again

&quot;You&#039;ve got to learn to move on, because life will move on. If you don&#039;t move on, you&#039;ll just end up in over your head.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Never regret anything because at the time, it was exactly what you wanted.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;We accept the love we think we deserve.&quot;
