Zero Hour

Why do I fall for the mysterious ones,
Dangerous ones, or ones who just don't care?
Please say something, just say anything,
Just to let me know you're there.

Just a moment, I'd like to ask you...
No wait, too late, you've gone.
Please say something, just say anything,
What are you running from?

End of the world but nothing's happening.
It was ash moments ago.
Please say something, just say anything,
Hold my hand, don't let go.

Hopeless writings in these love songs,
Childish lines, declarations of misuse.
Please say something, just say anything,
So I can let you know the truth.

Zero hour, end of the line.
I'm failing to find words of use.
Please say something, just say anything,
There's more anguish than us two .

Yes, I'm writing this about you,
Tell the world, I just don't care.
Please tell everyone, tell them anything,
At least then I'll know you're there.
