Colin sings it.

Straight-forward. The thing didn't work out. What else is new? What  did you think, you had a monopoly on getting shot down, on hard crash landings? At least you're still around to tell the tale. And you get a beautiful lost love ballad out of it to boot.

I Don't Believe in Miracles

I walk along the road and past your door
Then I remember things you said
I know in time we could've been so much more
But if you wanna come back home, go right ahead.

But I don't believe in miracles
I don't believe in miracles
But I thought you might show your face
Or have the grace to tell me where you are.

I believe I was your game, your ball
If you threw me up then I would fall
And so you've won again, you win them all
I believe I'd run to you, if you should call.

But I don't believe in miracles
I don't believe in miracles
But I thought you might show your face
Or have the grace to tell me where you are.

And I believe that somewhere there's someone
Who's gonna light the way when things go wrong
The bullet that shot me down was from your gun
The words that turned me 'round were from your song.

But I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles)
I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles)
But I thought you might show your face
Or have the grace to tell me where you are (tell me where you are).

But I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles)
But I don't believe in miracles (don't believe in miracles)
But I thought you might show your face
Or have the grace to tell me where you are.
