It's been a few years, since I packed my bags, left all I knew
Face fear, to define a life that's built on breaking through
How much longer will it take? No, I can't wait forever
A picture painted in my mind, it seems my days are numbered
Maybe I'm the one that's scared of all that we could make
Maybe you're the one who left me on a lapse of faith
But even when it seems the weight is far too much to take
I won't collapse for anything
You call, there's a quiver in your voice that I read
"Give up, don't you think it's time you came back home to me
You've been chasing a dream, but dreams don't last forever
Though it means more than anything, at least we'll have each other."
Maybe I'm the one that's scared of all that we could make
Maybe you're the one who left me on a lapse of faith
But even when it seems the weight is far too much to take
I won't collapse for anything
Heart beat slow, guide me where to go
It's taken long enough to get here, would I be better off
Cold but not alone, here without a home
Tell me why I can't quit shaking, while I'm bleeding at the stake
And I don't know anymore, what I'm really fighting for
This is bigger than the both of us, you're the only one I trust anymore
Maybe I'm the one that's scared of all that we could make
Maybe you're the one who left me on a lapse of faith
But even when it seems the weight is far too much to take
I won't collapse for anything
And what kills me, is how could you forget me?
I stayed right where you left me
But open wounds can't heal when you're still tearing them apart
And what fills me, is hope to find what's missing
And I refuse to quit 'til I've rebuilt another heart
