I'm undone before my knees touch the ground

Bit parts you play where you're lost and then you're found

Hope lifts the sun

Fear drags it down

But love finds your voice and turns it into sound

Feels like fire as it burns through the skin

As I turn away to forget the past that

Leaves behind all the broken-down roads

To the homes and hopes and the dreams that won't come true

I'd rather fight again than live with the pain

Can't put the pieces back the way they came

The dark has its light and the day needs the night

We've come too far to forget our ways

I carry the chains you left behind

Can't seem to find the key that lets me let you go

I wonder just how long do I need to be alone

Is it always to pretend that you come back in the end?

If I wait I'll tear the memory of fear out of my eyes

You can't hurt me if I'm on the run and miles away from here

The last time you held me I knew what must be done

I took what little ground I could find to start again

And by the time you will realize I'm gone

It will all be over just a hard-won memory

I was wrong to break you but it's bound to change you

And it's all the in-between-us from what we hide to what we seem

Off to find a better life, off to find a better life, off to find a better life, off to find a better life
