Just in case I don't return
Sing a song for me
Make the lyrics sweet
And sing a soft melody
If my soul gets lost at sea
Say a prayer for me
Raise your hands to heaven
And pray they let me in
If I told you I'm not scared
Oh I lied, oh I lied
If I said my heart was steel
It's all lies, all lies
'Cos the cost of being brave
Is far too much for me
If I told you I'm not scared
Oh I lied, oh I lied
Just in case my lover leaves
Build a cage for me
I'll put my heart inside it
And I'll never let it flee
Oh if the sky falls down today
Let me hold your hand
And let me stay beside you
As the sea eats the land
If I told you I'm not scared
Oh I lied, oh I lied
If I said my heart was steel
It's all lies, all lies
'Cos the cost of being brave
Is far too much for me
If I told you I'm not scared
Oh I lied, oh I lied
You were holding my hand
In that dream of the haunted
Thunderstruck heights we jumped off
Plunging into freezing rapids
Like a video game, our quest
To climb the world so we could say
We owned it, we earned this
As the wrestling water pulled you from me
Your absence pulled me under
When I sank into the waves
Into the dark night
I went deeper - into the dream
If I told you I'm not scared
Oh I lied, oh I lied
If I said my heart was steel
It's all lies, all lies
'Cos the cost of being brave
Is far too much for me
If I told you I'm not scared
Oh I lied, oh I lied
