Better the love, better the lost I believed it Wish I'd have known, loving so hard could cut so deep The deeper I get, the harder it is to stop the bleeding They paint you in red, set fire to your faith Then they leave I heard you were a wild one, wild one I heard that I should just keep walking I heard I shouldn't give my heart away I heard you were a wild one, wild one But I had a taste of your sweet nothing And I thought that maybe one day you would change But the wild ones never stay Wild ones never stay So bitter, so sweet These tears that you see could fill an ocean The rumours were true, how much of a fool I could be I spent all these years finding a way to fix what's broken I bathe in these wounds, so drown me in blue Set me free I heard you were a wild one, wild one I heard that I should just keep walking I heard I shouldn't give my heart away I heard you were a wild one, wild one But I had a taste of your sweet nothing And I thought that maybe one day you would change But the wild ones never stay Wild ones never stay So why don't I listen, oh when will I learn Fire in the dark with the bridges we burned Cold in the ruins and covered in dust Left to the wind You're still holding my heart in your hands I'm still here lost in the nights that we danced I still believe in the things that we planned What could have been I heard you were a wild one, wild one I heard that I should just keep walking I heard I shouldn't give my heart away Away I heard you were a wild one, wild one But I had a taste of your sweet nothing I thought you'd be here when night turns into day But the wild ones never stay Wild ones never stay
