I am witness to the light
And called to shine
In spite of the shadows inside.

I am called light
But the shadow I call mine
Makes my light hide

Where my flesh is whole
My soul is shadowed
Where you wound me it shows

Thus your life I stole
Burns out my marrow
And still the light grows

I am witness to the light
And still the light grows

The mirror is broken
And I don't know why
The pieces are stained in red

And it seems the reflection
From the shards left by
Match the image left in my head

Was it one too many failures
One too many falls
Or too much compromise?

Was it that I took a leisurely
Lazy call
With consequences I didn't realize?

Now my eyes can't see themselves
All they see is shadows
And no one really sees a shadow
Until it looks back at themself

I see my shadow in my reflection
And I'm afraid of the dark

I don't know what to say when I'm with you
Words pale and fail to say what my heart knows

I try to raise my voice, but it trickles into nothing more than words.

My spirit's longing but my heart is cold and silent
Turned to stone from years of giving up the fight

I try to make a choice to love you, but I've always said those words

I've wronged you
I'm sorry
I don't know if I can change
But I need you
I'm desperate
I know your the only way
I can love
And be loved
And find that maybe love is enough

I keep thinking of all the times before this
Blaming you or me for how I just can't change

I'll try to look beyond, so my love goes beyond only words.

I still feel the shadow creeping up inside me
But I also feel your life breaking through

I know this heart will fail but please prevail, please be more than words

I've wronged you
I'm sorry
I don't know if I can change
But I need you
I'm desperate
I know your the only way
I can love
And be loved
And find that maybe love is enough

To change a heart
To change my life
From wandering darkness
To living light
Than can warm hearts
And light lives up
More than words
But changed inside

I've wronged you
I'm sorry
I don't know if I can change
But I need you
I'm desperate
You're the only way
I can love
And be loved
And my heart knows that love is enough
(When times get rough)
My heart knows your love enough
(When I fall)
My heart knows your love enough
(When I'm weak)
My heart knows your love is enough
(When I'm lost)
My heart knows you love is enough

You're calling me where I can't go
I'll run into the hollow
Of the tree
Please don't follow me

You're sending me where I can't dream
I'm so afraid I want to scream
I'm leaving
don't follow me

But where can I hide
Where you don't provide
Where can I go
Where you don't know
Running from you is like running from myself
But the only way to follow is to leave myself
There's no paths left to choose,
I guess I'll be walking with you

I've made every excuse I can
I've told you I'm not who you need
But you still follow me

You say that you are
You say that I am who you need,
Yeah you still follow me

But where can I hide
Where you don't provide
Where can I go
Where you don't know
Running from you is like running from myself
But the only way to follow is to leave myself
There's no paths left to choose,
I guess I'll be walking with you

Oh hey the sky is blue again
All different hues of blues
And the clouds they fade away
The grey has washed away

Oh hey, Hi! it's you again
We're all different hues of blues
But the clouds just fade away
When I see your face

And when it's dark you're the silver lining
And I hope that I'm yours too
You're the sky, when the world's so black it's blinding
I look up at you
And I'm reminded
Light will come again

You've got me convinced
That forever is forever
The future is a journey
Where we are always we

I've never thought how since
This forever is forever
The man I used to be didn't hesitate or contemplate
That kissing you would be the death of me

And when it's dark you're the silver lining
And I hope that I'm yours too
You're the sky, when the world's so black it's blinding
I look up at you
And I'm reminded
Light will come again

She says I don't understand what it means to be alone
I guess that's been true since the day I met her
She sat out in the storm on her own
And as I watched her I knew she was wrong

She always said the wind reminded her of home
Until I asked her to stay
I knew she was a rebel but how could I have know
That she would turn away
That she would run away

Nothing hurts more
Than standing at the shore
Watching a horizon
As the sky opens
Wishing you weren't on the other side
And I'm numb
Nothing hurts more than love

And she's off on another adventure
Somewhere between the lines
And I'm here trying to find where we were
somewhere between the lies

She's sitting at home in silence
And I'm walking in the rain
It's more than the distance
I guess somethings do change

Nothing hurts more
Than standing at the shore
Watching a horizon
As the sky breaks opens
Wishing you were still on my side
And I'm numb
Nothing hurts more than love

And I'm sitting out in the cold on my own
I never felt this way before I met her
I understand what it means to be alone
And I guess I will forever

Nothing hurts any more
I'm standing at the shore
Watching a horizon
And the sky's broken
Wishing you weren't on the other side
And I'm numb
Nothing hurts more than love

I'm lyin under the stars.
Talking to myself
And suddenly I remember you
I remember all the scars
The years up on the shelf
The lines you tied to me that pulled me through.

But you never knew the lion
You only knew the lamb
And maybe that's for the best
But I remember how you were cryin'
And I'll never understand
Why God always makes us fail our last test.

And I'm lyin' under the stars
Counting the scars in the ceiling
I'm trying not to think
You might have never made it through
As far as the earth is from the heavens
My thoughts are chasing after you
And as I wonder where you are
Suddenly the stars fade from view.

You lulled me to sleep
With stories I would keep
Even if the details kind of blurred
And I remember I heard
In more than just words
That love could over come a broken world

And I'm lyin' under the stars
Counting the scars in the ceiling
I'm trying not to think
You might have never made it through
As far as the earth is from the heavens
My thoughts are chasing after you
And as I wonder where you are
Suddenly the stars fade from view.

The hand that held me up
Shivered as it fell
And I just stood there saying it would pass
I never should have let that moment pass

And I'm lyin' under the stars
Counting the scars in the ceiling
I'm trying not to think
You might have never made it through
As far as the earth is from the heavens
My thoughts are chasing after you
And as I remember your eyes
All the sugar coated lies
I remember your smile
And those long homeward miles
I remember how you cried
Years after grand pa died
I remember holding your hand
And me trying to understand
How something once so strong
Could shiver too
I prayed but I could not believe it was true
That you...

I remember your eyes
And suddenly the stars blur from view.
