[Verse 1]
One, one less, one less life
One less life for us to live
Holding, holding on
Holding on to something real
If these, if these walls
If these walls could talk to me
What if all these eyes only saw what they believed?

Two heavy, heavy hearts
Heavy hearts refuse to beat
When my, when my words
When my words fall on deaf ears
If your, if your soul
If your soul could cry for me
What if all we give is all we ever get to keep?

[Hook]
When we left behind the friends we made along the way
Why is it we never learn from all the mistakes we ever made?

[Verse 2]
One, one last, one last chance
One last chance to disappear
Calling, calling out
Calling out for someone real
If this, if this God
If this God could pray to me
What if where we're lost is where we are meant to be?

Too, too much, much too young
Much too young and gone too soon
Letting, letting go
Latching on to something new
If this, if this breath
If this breath's the last I breathe
What if all of my sins are still addicted to me?

[Chorus]
When?
When did we give up the ghost as a trade for a heart that begins to break?
Why is it we're never learning from all the mistakes we ever made?
How is there one unconditional love when you've taken my will to breathe?
Losing our sense of direction has led us to where we all need to be

[Bridge]
One, one less, one less life
One less life for us to live
One last, one last chance
One last chance to disappear
One less, one less life
One less life for us to live
One last, one last chance
One last chance to end this

[Chorus]
When?
When did we give up believing in beautiful minds that begin to fail?
How is there always a different path waiting for every road we stray?
When did we give up the ghost as a trade for a heart that begins to break?
Why is it we're never learning from all the mistakes we ever made?

When?
When did we give up believing in beautiful minds that begin to fail?
How is there always a different path waiting for every road we stray?
When did we give up the ghost as a trade for a heart that begins to break?
Why is it we're never learning from all the mistakes we ever made?
