Heartbeat - James Blunt
Album: The Afterlove
genre: Pop
Let it slide
All the choices I made
Let it burn
As it rolls down my face
Let it fall
Just to be the one again
But if I want
I won’t be loved by you at all
Let it slip
Every promise I break
Let it burn
All the blows that we trade
Let it fall
’cause this place has been condemned
And we both know
That we can’t be here anymore
Yeah, I know I pulled a pin on your heart
But I lost sight of the target when you let down your guard
Should’ve run, run a hundred miles
Never look back track, ’cause now we can backtrack
And yeah, I know what you’ll say, nothing can change
No one to blame, it’s on the tip of my tongue
Here it comes, this is crazy, you should know that
I would go back in a heartbeat
Just to make your heart beat
Let it fail
It’s too late to be saved
Let it roll
They’re all across this grey
Let it blaze
There’s a darkness in the flame
And it’s lost
And we can’t bear it anymore
Let it slide
I can’t start it again
Let it burn
While it’s held in my hand
Let it fall
’cause this journey is at its end
It’s only luck
That I was loved by you at all
Yeah, I know I pulled a pin on your heart
But I lost sight of the target when you let down your guard
Should’ve run, run a hundred miles
Never look back track, ’cause now we can backtrack
And yeah, I know what you’ll say, nothing can change
No one to blame, it’s on the tip of my tongue
Here it comes, this is crazy, you should know that
I would go back in a heartbeat
Just to make your heart beat
Yeah, I know I pulled a pin on your heart
But I lost sight of the target when you let down your guard
Should’ve run, run a hundred miles
Never look back track, ’cause now we can backtrack
And yeah, I know what you’ll say, nothing can change
No one to blame, it’s on the tip of my tongue
Here it comes, this is crazy, you should know that
I would go back in a heartbeat
Just to make your heart beat.

There lyrics are the closest to correct that I’ve found on the internet, but there are still some mistakes.
It’s “now we CAN’T backtrack”
and
“Let it roll
The rock across this grave” (instead of they’re all across this grey)8 years-
