ASKING ALEXANDRIA - If You Can't Ride Two Horses At Once You Should Get Out Of The Circus

--
Lyrics:
I can't see through the tears in my eyes!
I can't see through the tears in my eyes!
I can't breathe!
I feel I failed!
I was meant to make you smile!
I was meant to make you shine,
To make you shine!
They said
This could never happen!
They said
We could never be!
Are you telling me you listened?
I was meant to make you smile!
I was meant to make you shine!
[x3]
So there's no you and me?
And we can't live this way forever (forever)?
(You said you'd run away)
You said you'd run away,
You said you'd run away with me (with me),
You'd run away.
That we'd escape from the ordinary!
That we'd escape from the world that tied us down!
That we'd escape from the ordinary!
That we'd escape from the world that kept us apart!
(Whoa!) So now this is over and the world falls upon me.
(Whoa!) I never expected to be here alone.
(Whoa!) The shadows are forming as we burst into flames.
(Whoa!) Why does this end this way?
Whoa!
Whoa! (Why does this end this way?)
Whoa!
Whoa!

My favorite part. Dannys clean singing is so good.

[@mimiPunk97]

I discovered AA in 2013 (in my emo days) and since then I never stopped listening to them , unlike BVB that I don't listen to that much anymore even tho they used to be my number 1 favourite band... I guess asking alexandria is one of those few bands that were not just a phase

[@jarradblazevicius4498]

Im gonna bring you back 3 years after to confirm no this will never get old and is not a phase

[@supa_powa7490]

Dude we have the same story I first used to listen to bvb alot then I got to know asking alexandria and oh man I totally went crazy about them they had what I was looking for especially that heaviness unlike bvb but I do listen to bvb from time to time but not the same after finding out about aa
