Afterglow

The world's on fire it's more than I can handle
I'll tap into the water try and bring my share
Try to bring more, more than I can handle
Bring it to the table
Bring what I am able

Hearts are worn in these dark ages
You're not alone in these stories' pages
The light has fallen amongst the living and the dying
And I'll try to hold it in
Yeah I'll try to hold it in

Chorus

I watch the heavens but I find no calling
Something I can do to change what's coming
Stay close to me while they sky's falling
I don't wanna be left alone don't wanna be alone

Chorus

Hearts break...Hearts mend...love still hurts
Visions clash Planes Crash still there's talk of
saving souls still cold's closing in on us

We part the veil on our killer sun
Stray from the straight line on this short run
The more we take the less we become
The fortune of one man means less for some

Chorus

I will be the answer
at the end of the line
I will be there for you
while you take the time
In the burning of uncertainty
I will be your solid ground
I will hold the balance
If you can't look down

If it takes my whole life
I won't break I won't bend
It'll all be worth it
Worth it in the end
Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all gone out
You'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently into morning
For the night has been unkind
Take me to a place so holy
That I can wash this from my mind
The memory of choosing not to fight

If it takes my whole life
I won't break I won't bend
It'll all be worth it
Worth it in the end
Cause I can only tell you what I know
That I need you in my life
When the stars have all gone out
You'll still be burning so bright

Cast me gently into morning
For the night has been unkind

Heaven bend to take my hand
Lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight
Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bare

Though I've tried I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so

We all began with good intent
When love was raw and young
We believe that we can change ourselves
The past can be undone
But we carry on our backs the burdens
Time always reveals
In the lonely light of morning
In the wound that would not heal
It's the bittter taste of losing everything
I held so dear

I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I've messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so

Heaven bend to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
Lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turn their heads embarrassed
Pretend that they don't see
That it's one missed step
One slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed

Though I've tried, I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so
Oh
I messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so

every time i look at you, the world just melts away
all my troubles all my fears dissolve in your affections
you've seen me at my weakest yet you take me as I am
and when i fall you offer me a softer place to land

chorus
you stay the course
you hold the line
you keep it all together
you're the one true thing i know i can believe in
you're all the things that i desire
you save me
you complete me
you're the one true thing i know i can believe in

i get mad so easy, but you give me space to breathe
no matter what i say or do cause you're too good to fight about it
even when i have to push just to see how far you'll go
you won't stoop down to battle me, you never turn to go

chorus


Love is just the antidote
nothing else can cure me
there are times I cant decide
when i can't tell up from down
you make me feel less crazy, otherwise i'd drown
but you pick me up and brush me off and tell me i'm okay
and sometimes that's just what we need to get us through the day

chorus x 2

If i had the chance love
i would not hesitate
to tell you all things i never said before
dont tell me its too late
coz ive relied on my illusions
to keep me warm at night
and i denied in my capacity to love
that i am willing to give up this fight

been up all night drinking to drown my sorrows down
but nothing seems to help me since you went away
im so tired of this town where every tongue is wagging
when every back is turned
theyre telling secrets that should never be revealed
theres nothing to be gained from this but disaster

heres a good one
did you hear about my friend
hes embarrassed to be seen now
coz we all know his sins

If i had the chance love
you know i would not hesitate
to tell you all the things i never said before
dont tell me its too late
coz ive relied on my illusions
to keep me warm at night
and i denied in my capacity to love
but i am willing to give up this fight
oh i am willing to give up this fight
