The Fallout

It was just underneath the surface I had an axe and I ground it with a purpose I wound up and then I threw And all it took was a second (All it took was a second) To let my forked tongue do all the damage My words took aim across the room And split your heart apart in two Can we forgive what we can't forget Try to move on like we never met How can we live if we are both dead in past mistakes I'll carry your cross if you carry mine Throw you a rope if you draw me a line And if you are lost I'll pray for the light that leads to brighter days You shot a look like a dagger And dropped a bomb like an anvil from a ladder For all is fair in love and war You cut me open with your wedding ring (Cut me open with your wedding ring) Reached inside and you pulled out my heart strings Left me bleeding on the floor Now here as I lay I beg for more Can we forgive what we can't forget Try to move on like we never met How can we live if we are both dead in past mistakes I'll carry your cross if you carry mine Throw you a rope if you draw me a line And if you are lost I'll pray for the light that leads to brighter days All of our doubt Forms a dark cloud Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh Is there hope found (Is there hope found) In the fallout (In the fallout) Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh It turns out that the enemy Was never you but the battle here inside of me I never meant to do you harm I know I can never take it back Still I'm raising up the white flag And letting down my guard Just to be here in your arms Alright Can we forgive what we can't forget Try to move on like we never met How can we live if we are both dead I'll carry your cross if you carry mine Throw you a rope if you draw me a line And if we are lost I'll pray for the light that leads to brighter days
