It was just underneath the surface
I had an axe and I ground it with a purpose
I wound up and then I threw
And all it took was a second (All it took was a second)
To let my forked tongue do all the damage
My words took aim across the room
And split your heart apart in two
Can we forgive what we can't forget
Try to move on like we never met
How can we live if we are both dead in past mistakes
I'll carry your cross if you carry mine
Throw you a rope if you draw me a line
And if you are lost I'll pray for the light that leads to brighter days
You shot a look like a dagger
And dropped a bomb like an anvil from a ladder
For all is fair in love and war
You cut me open with your wedding ring (Cut me open with your wedding ring)
Reached inside and you pulled out my heart strings
Left me bleeding on the floor
Now here as I lay I beg for more
Can we forgive what we can't forget
Try to move on like we never met
How can we live if we are both dead in past mistakes
I'll carry your cross if you carry mine
Throw you a rope if you draw me a line
And if you are lost I'll pray for the light that leads to brighter days
All of our doubt
Forms a dark cloud
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
Is there hope found (Is there hope found)
In the fallout (In the fallout)
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
It turns out that the enemy
Was never you but the battle here inside of me
I never meant to do you harm
I know I can never take it back
Still I'm raising up the white flag
And letting down my guard
Just to be here in your arms
Alright
Can we forgive what we can't forget
Try to move on like we never met
How can we live if we are both dead
I'll carry your cross if you carry mine
Throw you a rope if you draw me a line
And if we are lost I'll pray for the light that leads to brighter days
