All Saints
One Strike
[Verse 1: Melanie]
Stone cold
You wake me when the phone vibrates
Your voice sounds dulled, but loud enough to hear you
Distant, echoes of my heart unbreak

[Pre-Chorus: All]
Silently now, I'm waiting for this storm to come
I'm waiting for this storm to come
Listen to you load that gun
I'm waiting for this storm to come

[Chorus: Nicole with Melanie, Shaznay]
And with one strike
My world lights up in a fire
Call it a sign
Don't need hindsight
I'll make my emotions clear
And then disappear
With one strike
Mmm, one strike

[Verse 2: Shaznay]
Shattered, pieces of your words take aim
Your poisoned tongue
But I don't want to believe you
Torn up, stitches of my own heart ache
[Pre-Chorus: All]
Violently numb, I'm ready for this storm to come
I'm ready for the storm to come
Listen to you load that gun
I'm ready for the storm come

[Chorus: Nicole with Melanie, Shaznay]
And with one strike
My world lights up in a fire
Call it a sign
Don't need hindsight
I'll make my emotions clear
And then disappear
And with one strike
My world lights up a fire
Call it a sign
And with one strike
Mmm, one strike

[Post-Chorus: Shaznay]
With one strike
With one strike
One strike
With one strike
With one strike
[Bridge: Natalie, Nicole & Melanie]
I don't want to stay, time to go
I don't want to be in this home
Broken promises, time to leave
I had everything that you needed
I don't want to stay, time to go (Oh-oh)
Why'd you go lie?
Oh-oh
I don't want to be in this home (Oh-oh)
Why'd you go lie?
Oh-oh
Broken promises, time to leave (Oh-oh)
Why'd you go lie?
Oh-oh
I had everything that you needed (Oh-oh)
Why'd you go lie?
Oh-oh

[Chorus: Shaznay with Nicole]
And with one strike
My world lights up in a fire
Call it a sign
Don't need hindsight
I'll make my emotions clear
And then disappear
And with one strike
Mmm, one strike
[Outro: Nicole & Melanie]
Oh-oh
Why'd you go lie?
Oh-oh
Why, oh, why?
Oh-oh
Watch you go by
Oh-oh
My, oh, my
