[Chorus]

Was it the trick of the light?

Or a shot in the dark?

Was it hell or high water that broke our hearts?

Was it something I said?

Or just a cruel twist of fate?

Was it hell or high water and is it too late?

Oh, is it too late?



[Verse 1]

Man, all my life I've been

Searching for someone, to show me how it feels to be loved

And how to love somebody back

And after stumbling through the years

I thought I found you, just to see you fading out into the night



[Chorus]

Was it the trick of the light?

Or a shot in the dark?

Was it hell or high water that broke our hearts?

Was it something you said?

Or just a cruel twist of fate?

Was it hell or high water and is it too late?



[Verse 2]

See, all my life I've been

Silently reaching for

A hand to hold to warm the cold, spark a light

To guide me through, alright?

And after stumbling through the years

I thought I found you, just to see you fading out into the night



[Chorus]

Was it the trick of the light?

Or a shot in the dark?

Was it hell or high water that broke our hearts?

Was it something we did?

Or just a cruel twist of fate?

Was it hell or high water and is it too late?

Hey, hey

Hey, hey



[Bridge]

Was it a knife in my back?

Or a fork in the road?

Was it hell or high water that left us alone?

Is it really game over?

Is it really checkmate?

Was it hell or high water and is it too late?

Oh, is it too late?



[Outro]

Was it the trick of the light?

Or a shot in the dark?

Was it hell or high water that broke her heart?
