I've been lifeless lately 
Time rushing past 
I've been slow motion lately 
Can't remember what I did last 
The airs cold against my tears 
I have been running so long 
I have hid from these fears 
It was so wrong 

Burnt bridges all around 
Glass is breaking through the sound 
This pain is taking over me 
Im falling to the ground 
Please take my hand save me 
I've been no good but maybe 
You could change me 
Maybe it's you that I need 

a dove in my window Payne 
They said it was a chance of sun 
But my sky is full of rain 
and I feel like I'm done 
The lights flicker to black 
My head is spinning 
I need to take you back 
All this hurt it's been bringing 
I cried all I could 
And I seen this day coming 
I just wished it never would 
And now I'm lost again 

Burnt bridges all around 
Glass is breaking through the sound 
This pain is taking over me 
I'm falling to the ground 
Please take my hand, save me 
I've been no good but maybe 
You could change me 
Maybe it's you that I need 

And if only you could see 
That this light burns inside me 
I'm shining in the shadows 
Its like it's never mattered 
But I just want to light your way 
Even if that path is out of "our" days 
I just need to know that we 
Were something to keep 
Even if it's not me that you seek
