It seems that nothin goes my way
And I'm left standing in the dark
But I let it fall away cause I still have you
Now I'd give it all just to be with you
I'd do anything to hold you in my arms
To see your face there is nothing I won't do
I've got nothin left so I'm hanging on to you
When The Light Returns
These kind words that you've said to me
Mean more than you could know
You can try to take all I cannot say
But there is more to me than I can show
You give me breath and take it all away
Burning your words deep inside of me
You take away my doubt and turn me inside out
Open my eyes so I can finally see
I've gotta be honest
I never thought that
I would ever let things get this way
But somewhere behind this
Know that I'm searching
For a way to get to you some day
It's never been harder to come back to something
That you have let slip away
And it's never been clearer that I can't be perfect
But nothing is and nothing gold can stay
Look back on me and see who I've become
I tried so hard to change
I feel this light shining down on me
And you've shown me the way
You give me breath and take it all away
Burning your words deep inside of me
You take away my doubt and turn me inside out
Open my eyes so I can finally see
I've gotta be honest
I never thought that
I would ever let things get this way
But somewhere behind this
Know that I'm searching
For a way to get to you some day
It's never been harder to come back to something
That you have let slip away
And it's never been clearer that I can't be perfect
But nothing is and nothing gold can stay
Don't run away because I need you now
Through all the things I've got to face
Take my hand and let it all sink in
Help me forget all I can't erase
I've gotta be honest
I never thought that
I would ever let things get this way
But somewhere behind this
Know that I'm searching
For a way to get to you some day
It's never been harder to come back to something
That you have let slip away
And it's never been clearer that I can't be perfect
But nothing is and nothing gold can stay
Fallen Angel
Look back on what you've done
Can you tell me, was it right?
Dreamin of the sun as you walk into the night
You were holding in your hands all that you would ever need
But you wanted so much more, trading honesty for greed
As you sit among the stars, are they what you had in mind?
Can you tell me what you see?
Or has your arrogance made you blind?
The sky doesn't seem to end so you let it all sink in
But you couldn't last forever with the lies you were living in
Now you're running, running away
Moving farther from this place
All that you've seen couldn't make you believe
That your world could fall from beneath your feet
Tell me what you see when you look around
Losing all your dreams as they come tumbling down
From where you were before
Cause now you've fallen through the clouds
Can't you see you're human with your feet back on the ground
All that you've done right has somehow done you wrong
You don't seem to change, falling back on what you've done
Are you losing your mind?
Has it left you full of doubt?
As you look to the sky tryin to figure this out
Now you're running, running away
Moving farther from this place
All that you've seen couldn't make you believe
That your world could fall from beneath your feet
You shed your skin, they clipped your wings
Now it's only you I see
Without the mask you hid behind
Your beauty is not what it used to be
Now you're running, running away
Moving farther from this place
All that you've seen couldn't make you believe
That your world could fall
Now you're running, running away
Moving farther from this place
All that you've seen couldn't make you believe
That your world could fall from beneath your feet
In Memory of Tomorrow
Some things in life open up your eyes
Make you realize you might be wrong
Cause all you thought was true, there to hold on to
Isn't gonna be there when you're gone
Nothing is what it seems behind broken dreams
Living in an emptiness you can't escape
Now you wait for things to come
That you know you'll never see
You've lost it now, you're on your own
But don't let go of what you could be
Don't fall from me, don't let me down
Cause I won't give up on you now
Don't let go, don't turn away
From all the things I've heard you say
You can't tell what you feel
When everything seems so unreal
But all you say and what you do
There's something to hold on to
All the things you've done, all you though was right
Have only made you blind to what you need
You locked it all inside pushing it away
But in the end the memory still remains
You tried to end it now, cause you can't figure out
That letting go will never stop your pain
Now you wait for things to come
That you know you'll never see
You've lost it now, you're on your own
But don't let go of what you could be
Don't fall from me, don't let me down
Cause I won't give up on you now
Don't let go, don't turn away
From all the things I've heard you say
You can't tell what you feel
When everything seems so unreal
But all you say and what you do
There's something to hold on to
Some things in life open up your eyes
Make you realize you've got it wrong
Cause all you thought was true, there to hold on to
Isn't gonna be there when you're gone
Don't fall from me, don't let me down
Cause I won't give up on you now
Don't let go, don't turn away
From all the things I've heard you say
You can't tell what you feel
When everything seems so unreal
But all you say and what you do
There's something to hold on to
I'll be Here
Now the days run longer
Tied with thoughts of you
I just wait and wonder, what else can I do?
I try to read your thoughts
For something that gives you away
But until I know what you want from me, all I can say is
When the tears dry from your face, I'll be here
When the sun sets on this place, I'll be here
When the wind blows your fears away
And you find the words to say
When you see what you've been missing
I'll be right here waiting
Now the days grow colder
As you slowly drift away
I watch you and wonder, is there more that I could say?
How am I supposed to feel?
Is this how I have to live?
And can you tell me, do you want me when all I can guarantee
Is when the tears dry from your face, I'll be here
When the sun sets on this place, I'll be here
When the wind blows your fears away
And you find the words to say
When you see what you've been missing
I'll be right here waiting
I thought nothing would come my way
Then I turned and saw your face
Now the only thing I know is that I can't let you go
When the tears dry from your face, I'll be here
When the sun sets on this place, I'll be here
When the wind blows your fears away
And you find the words to say
When you see what you've been missing
I'll be right here waiting
Is this Life?
He looks back on the ashes of what he thought was life
He holds back, telling himself everything is alright
He sinks down to his knees as he reaches toward the sky
Now he grasps for the answers to the questions in his life
What is right, what is right?
And, where did I go wrong?
I've got to fight, I've got to fight it
I've laid down for way too long
I'm holding on, I'm holding on
But I'm hanging by a thread
I'm tryin now, I'm tryin so hard
Just to find myself again
He crawls back to the comfort that lies behind his eyes
Hiding out from the world until he sees that everything is all right
He sinks down to his knees as he reaches toward the sky
Now he grasps for the answers to the questions in his life
What is right, what is right?
And, where did I go wrong?
I've got to fight, I've got to fight it
I've laid down for way too long
I'm holding on, I'm holding on
But I'm hanging by a thread
I'm tryin now, I'm tryin so hard
Just to find myself again
Now he walks, escaping from the shadows in his mind
He's broken free but now he wonders, how do I make this mine?
What is right, what is right?
And, where did I go wrong?
I've got to fight, I've got to fight it
I've laid down for way too long
I'm holding on, I'm holding on
But I'm hanging by a thread
I'm tryin now, I'm tryin so hard
Just to find myself again
What is right?
What is right?
What is right?
Can someone tell me now, is this life?
Let Go
Time is slipping through my hands
Fallin to the ground as day breaks again
The sky slowly fades from grey
All my doubts are gone with the passing of yesterday
Times may change but we all stay the same
Moving on, but locked in our familiar place
As I fall, will you follow me down
from this life that you've made?
As I walk, will you walk with me now?
Let your thoughts slip away
When I call and you're lost in the crowd
Will you find your place?
And when you let go, turn yourself back around
Is it me that you'll face?
Thoughts are coming all too clear
Silence is deafening when it's all that you can hear
But nothing else can move me now
The weight is gone that I had holding me down
Things may change but we all act the same
Breaking free, then running back to where we came
As I fall, will you follow me down
from this life that you've made?
As I walk, will you walk with me now?
Let your thoughts slip away
When I call and you're lost in the crowd
Will you find your place?
And when you let go, turn yourself back around
Is it me that you'll face?
Take in the words that I say
Cause I've never thought this clearly before
Lay down your trust in me
Cause I've never felt as strong as I do now
As I fall, will you follow me down
from this life that you've made?
As I walk, will you walk with me now?
Let your thoughts slip away
When I call and you're lost in the crowd
Will you find your place?
And when you let go, turn yourself back around
Is it me that you'll face?
