So give me a reason to stay
(this time I can never let it go)
crashing down on the waves
(I am crashing)
The tides that kept me under, left to wonder
Every day that passes me
gives me just a little bit more hope
that I can save this all
(with just taking one step back)
Every time you tear, and rip away
Every bit of dignity, and now there's nothing left
to say for you, to let them know
Our time is up, but you're still holding on.
(to love)
You're still holding on
oh yes you're still holding on.
Waiting
(for a different answer)
and looking
(for another way out)
I'm finding that there's nothing else
that can change my mind.
I see the tears you're holding back
but you were always good at
pretending the laughter
it never really mattered
Turn away the best of me
burning away the last chance of hope
that we know
that we owe.
Every time you tear, and rip away
Every bit of dignity, and now there's nothing left
to say for you, to let them know
Our time is up, but you're still holding on.
Left in sight, I want to burn this light
and watch it burn inside
(I watched it burn...)
Tear and rip away,
every bit of dignity
every thing you said to me
no you'll never, never be the same.
So turn around, things will never stay the same
So turn around, things will never stay the same
But if you turn around, things will never stay the same,
but if you never turn around, things will never ever change!
I know you'll tear every piece of my inspiration
Hollowed and hidden, like the truth that you want to believe in
And I feel so lost and broken
(Hollowed and hidden, like the truth that you want to believe in)
Every time you tear, and rip away
Every bit of dignity, and now there's nothing left
to say for you, to let them know
Our time is up, but you're still holding on.
Every time you tear, and rip away
Every bit of dignity, and now there's nothing left
to say for you, to let them know
Our time is up, but you're still holding on.
