The Earth is alone tonight,

There's no moon hangin', givin' light,

And you're close, but you're out of sight,

And I know,

It's my fault that you had to leave,

You tried rainin' your light on me,

But cold cracks in the fire fell,

Through the hole.

I thought I was a hero,

I could love 'til the sun was gone,

But I tried and I came out broken,

With the dawn.

So run home when the cold is comin',

Hold close cuz the pain is runnin',

But these hands aren't enough to pull you through.

You can't fire with a broken arrow,

The field's long and the tall gets narrow,

I can't love you the way you want me to.

(O-o-o-o-oh)

O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh,

O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh.

Some nights I can let it go,

I go out, but it's mechanical,

Was I wrong to be clinical with my love?

They say, "Send what you love away,"

You can't tell her why she's gotta stay,

But I don't wanna be right,

I want to see you light up.

So run home when the cold is comin',

Hold close cuz the pain is runnin',

But these hands aren't enough to pull you through.

(O-o-o-o-oh)

You can't fire with a broken arrow,

The field's long and the tall gets narrow,

I can't love you the way you want me to.

(O-o-o-o-oh)

O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh,

(O-o-o-o-oh)

O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh.

You gave me your trust,

But I lost the meanin',

I swore I was strong just as I was fallin'.

Cuz steal turns to rust,

And storms feel(?) _(?)_ breezes,

I thought I had grown,

But the world was smaller.

So run home when the cold is comin',

Hold close cuz the pain is runnin',

But these hands aren't enough to pull you through.

You can't fire with a broken arrow,

The field's long and the tall gets narrow,

I can't love you the way you want me to.

(O-o-o-o-oh)

I can't love (I can't love),

I can't love (I can't love),

I can't love you the way you want me to.

I can't love (I can't love),

I can't love,

I can't love you this way.

(O-o-o-o-oh)

No-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh,

No-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh,

(O-o-o-o-oh.)
