I've never had a reason to keep this up
But I've got a reason to say I've had enough
How could I ever be the right guy
The one who knows what the greatest love feels like

I'm counting all the sins that I have done
Looking in the mirror, the animal I've become
I'm looking forward, no reason to look back
Running out of time, trying to fill up all these gaps

Tell me now, how could I ever break your heart
Like a double-edge sword, the words you say are razor sharp
Come clean now and I swear I'll go away
Cause I can't believe every single little word you say

I'm jumping high but I keep on falling low
I'm screaming loud with nothing left to show
Standing still, but I'm running out so wild
I'm looking back to all the things that make you smile

Who would have thought what we had would never get so old
I grew up poor, but I cherished your heart like gold
I'm done crawling on my hands and knees for you
You ran away before I had a chance to say, "I do."

No!

I'm sick and tired of feeling all alone
Going through the nights walking on my own
Searching for you, a place to call my home
Reaching high running from my all time low
Burning bright, but I guess it goes to show
Who I am, the only sorrow that I know

Can't you see what you do to me?
I still love you, but I'm just so blind to see
It's all too much for me to know
That I can't find the strength to let you go

In my mind, going crazy from all these things
Playing my guitar, my fingers bleeding from these strings
So much anger that makes us feel confused
Blame it all on me even though I have no excuse

My love plagued you, but you know it's not a bad disease
I feel you running back, there's something that you believe
Well here I am, come sweep me off my feet
Cause you know you're the only one who still believes in me

I'm counting all the days when you'll come back
Even though we're happy, we'll still be wearing black
It's a color that we both just seem to love
So much of you that keeps me standing up

I'm head banging to the music that you sing
My hands are better everytime I play these strings
We are who we are, learn from our mistakes
I'm better now, I'm stronger, nothing left to break

I'm proud to say I have a heart to call my own
For every gal out there that should never feel alone
I have her heart that I can call my home
I'm flying high and I'm looking down below
You have to believe in the love that you still know
Cause there's no reason for you to let it go
