lyrics

I always knew it might come down to this
now I'm ready to make a deal
I don't have a chance the way that it stands
and it never mattered less how I feel
was I lucky to be so broken
no shame left to hesitate
well it's something that I wondered
at the closing of the gate

"keep hauling in the line
until there is no more slack
for if you really love me
there is no turning back"

I was proud to work harder
for just the glory of the fight
I was proud to burn my bridges down
always knew I was right
but now so early in the morning
with all the people bent and sore
where even the eyes of the strongest seem to say
I can no more

"in the waning hours
when you most want to be free
pass by all the others
if we are ever to be"

I'll hold you like a baby
more than I know how to care
even when you lash out
I'll stand before you bare
but when I face a mirror
all I know is vanity
and when I see my lover
is she looking back at me

burn like a candle
until there's nothing left of you
maybe in that darkness
we'll know what is true
