I know you care by Ellie Goulding

Clinging to me
Like a last breath you would breathe
You were like home to me
I don't recognize this street
Please, don't close your eyes
Don't know where to look without them
Outside the cars speed by
I never heard them until now
I know you care
I know it's always been there
But there is trouble ahead, I can feel it
You are just saving yourself when you hide it
Yeah, I know you care
I see it in the way you stare
As if there was trouble ahead and you knew it
I'll be saving myself from the ruin
And I know you care
I used to run down the stairs
To the door and I thought you were there
To shape to the comfort of us
Two lovers loved out of love
Oh, but I know you care
I know it is always been there
But there is trouble ahead, I can feel it
You are just saving yourself when you hide it
Yeah, I know you care
I see it in the way that you stare
As if there was trouble ahead and you knew it
I'll be saving myself from the ruin
I know it wasn't always wrong
But I've never known a winter so cold
No, I don't want my hands in a coat
But I still hope
'Cause this is how things ought to have been
And I know the words of it
Wasn't all that it seemed
Why can't I dream?
Do I care to dream?
'Cause I know you care
And I know you care
I know
