Sing and Learn: Sam Smith, пісня Writing's on the Wall

Author: Ксюша Муравська

Якщо ви відноситесь до числа тих людей, які з нетерпінням чекають виходу нового Бонда на цьому тижні, то цей випуск саме для вас. А присвячується наш 7-й випуск рубрики Sing and Learn саундтреку з цього фільму Writing's on the Wall (виконавець Sam Smith). Enjoy!

[Verse 1:]
I've been here before
But always hit the floor
I've spent a lifetime running
And I always get away
But with you I'm feeling something
That makes me want to stay
I'm prepared for this
I never shoot to miss
But I feel like a storm is coming
If I'm gonna make it through the day
Then there's no more use in running
This is something I gotta face

[Pre-Chorus:]
If I risk it all
Could you break my fall?

[Chorus:]
How do I live? How do I breathe?
When you're not here I'm suffocating
I want to feel love, run through my blood
Tell me is this where I give it all up?
For you I have to risk it all
Cause the writing's on the wall

[Verse 2:]
A million shards of glass
That haunt me from my past
As the stars begin to gather
And the light begins to fade
When all hope begins to shatter
Know that I won't be afraid

[Pre-Chorus:]
If I risk it all
Could you break my fall?

[Chorus:]

[Bridge:]
The writing's on the wall
[Chorus:]x2
