I can’t tell you how many times we’ve failed But it feels like our chance has passed us by You would think that we’d start to get used to it But each month another part of hope dies So what are we going to do? We never planned this life for you and me What if we’re wrong? I don’t know how long we can just wait and see But I’m holding on to hope that something can change I can’t let you go And nobody talks about it We just pretend it doesn’t hurt We hide it away somewhere And carry alone the way we’ve learned But I’m holding on to hope that something can change I can’t let you go I’m losing my mind, I’m losing my faith I can’t, I can’t let you go But I’m holding on to hope that something can change I can’t let you go I’m losing my faith, I’m losing my mind I can’t, I can’t let you go

I can’t believe we lost you I can’t believe you’re gone What do we do now? I was ready to be a father So we drive home We drive home And close the door I have to keep us together But I’ve got nothing left We just sit in silence I can’t talk about it But we hold on We hold on And close the door I lie awake in silence when I should be Hearing you breathe I fall asleep just long enough to dream of How it would feel to hold you So we let go We just let go And close the door

Though we’re broken there must be someone for us to love So many lost and lonely, please keep them safe till then

Escape 08:37
When those memories drag me in I give up trying, numb within I see the disappointment in your eyes All that I could do was wait for you to tell me What I had to do to make it right I never meant to hurt you Searching for a trace of empathy I can’t face the fear I’ll never feel your comfort Acknowledgment, support, or sympathy I’m such a disappointment So I’ll run to the place it doesn’t hurt I’ll find a way to bury all the voices saying You’ll never prove, you’ll never prove you’re worth The love that you expected I’d hide in here forever if I could Each time it takes a little more to fend the fear I feel alone, I feel misunderstood Tell me when it’s over I cannot face myself Can I escape me? I can’t erase this weight Can I escape? The room was quiet Their voices silent My heart was pounding I can’t imagine How I let this happen Mother Can I be the mother that he needs? Can I crawl back up? Oh help me please Can I feel and give and love and stay? I’m afraid this fear won’t fall away The fear is rising How long can I fend it off? How long can I hold on? I’m scared I’ll let him down This room is quiet My voice is silent My heart is pounding This room is quiet My voice is silent My heart is pounding I cannot face myself Can I escape me? I can’t erase this weight Can I escape?

Why is everybody giving up on each other? Don’t give up on me Not even trying to love one another Don’t give up on me Why is everybody giving up on each other? Don’t give up on me Not even trying to love one another Don’t give up on me I’m asking if you can take me the way I am Though I’m lacking virtue Forgive me what I say, forgive me what I do Cause I don’t want to hurt you I want to stay with you forever Don’t give up on me No way to face the world but together Don’t give up on me We love ourselves but not one another Don’t give up on me You never know what you might discover If you don’t give up on me Don’t give up and let me go I’m hanging on to when you said You’d love me without condition Don’t give up and let me go Believe me when I say that I Still love you without condition

The Light 04:23
Hide my face again behind these guilty hands Shy away from your touch Time won’t take away this wanting in my heart But sometimes I believe as much Oh what I’d give to cloud these vivid memories But I don’t think I can Cause I’m afraid of what you’d think if you could see Where I’ve been You can’t hide alone inside your bitter heart You can’t stay inside Fall into the light Fall into the light

Take Me Away 08:10
When I wake up and the house is cold, I lie still And I listen for the sound of you breathing Maybe this will be the day you don’t wake up I shouldn’t have to be the one who finds you there And it’s always been this way Maybe today will be the day they take me away Today they take me away You used to look me in the eyes, and I felt love I can tell you’ve given up, and I’m so scared Wasn’t supposed to be this way Nothing I can do to change And it’s always been this way Maybe today will be the day they take me away Today they take me away A knock on the door it’s all suddenly over And the screams and the broken things echo to peace I want to believe in a place where I’m safe and loved and taken care of But what am I trading for? I’ll take your hand if you ask me to There has got to be better than this But can I believe when you say you will I need something that’s better than this

I want to go I want to run I want to find myself today I’ll never know what’s to become If I just hide myself away Today I wake up, look around, and see that everything has changed I can’t believe I left it there but hesitation still remains And after all the cruel and ugly things I never should have seen Is there a way to shed this skin and start again with something clean? It’s hard to find a way to trust when I have all this doubt Past promises and broken dreams it’s hard for me to figure out But it isn’t fair if I don’t give them a chance to try Maybe this is what I need to finally tell the past goodbye I want to go I want to run I want to find myself today I’ll never know what’s to become If I just hide myself away I’m looking back on all the choices that I never got to make I want to go I want to run I want to find myself today I’ve got to go I’ve got to run I’ve got to find myself today I’ll never know what’s to become If I just hide myself away. I’m looking forward to a choice That I finally get to make It’s time to go I want to run I want to find myself today

So many times I have tried to face this world alone But that’s behind me I’m looking forward to a future that’s brighter than I’ve known With you beside me Will you stand beside me? Will you stand beside me? And if I fail you, will you push me away? Would you stand beside me, stand beside me? Could you really love me as if I were your own? Would you let me in or would you deny me? What if I don’t live up to the dream you’ve always known? Would you walk away, walk away, or stand beside me? Will you stand beside me? Will you stand beside me? And if I fail you, will you push me away? Would you stand beside me, stand beside me? Could you really love me as if I were your very own? Would you let me in or would you deny me? What if I don’t live up to the dream you’ve always known? Would you walk away, would you walk away or would you stand beside me? Will you stand beside me? Will you stand beside me? And if I fail you, don’t push me away Just stand beside me, stand beside me, stand beside me
