Ground Zero

I wrote this about someone who demolished my life down to nothing, hence ground zero.

Ground Zero

Verse:
All I saw was the girl with the sweet smile
Who would catch me when I fell
Thought we would last till the end of time
But there was something you didn't tell

Pre-chorus
"I love you" is what I heard
Then that flew away, everything was blurred

Chorus:
Why you wanna destroy everything we built up
And throw away tomorrow?
Those photographs of us, they're all burned now
Just like the love I used to know
It was a ticking time bomb, I got it all wrong
And now I'm trapped here in ground zero

Verse:
My mistake, I believed you from the start
But now I can see your bitter lies
You had to go and tear our love apart
And put these sour tears in my eyes

Pre-Chorus:
Now deafening silence is all I hear
No more happiness, only fear

Chorus:
Why you wanna destroy everything we built up
And throw away tomorrow?
Those photographs of us, they're all burned now
Just like the love I used to know
It was a ticking time bomb, I got it all wrong
And now I'm trapped here in ground zero

Bridge:
The smile I'm faking is to trick you into believing
That my soul isn't crushed
The scars you made, they will never fade
Guess it was just my stupid luck
You flattened my heart, when you took up a different part
And you tore my world apart

Chorus:
Why you wanna destroy everything we built up
And throw away tomorrow?
Those photographs of us, they're all burned now
Just like the love I used to know
It was a ticking time bomb, I got it all wrong
And now I'm trapped here in ground zero
