lyrics

How long do I have to sing this song
In the silent bloom of my apologies
and second handed lies

I won't survive the night if you're not there
So you take your place, in the corner of my mind
right where I can't see you

It was all my fault for shutting you out
And it was my map that led us to this route
But you called it truce, destroyed my pride
by letting me win and not letting me hide

You said, your hand will always be with me
Even though I run to the far side of this world
Your grace will follow through

But you never mentioned this before
This silent concrete wall that was built by the hands
unable to climb

This fight wasn't fair from the very start
But this had to be for the sake of my heart
And you called it truce, here in the dark
Where you touched my hip, as you touched my heart

It was all my fault for shutting you out
And it was my map that led us to this route
But you called it truce, though I was to blame
As you touched my lips, with the heat of your flame
