The lines on your face, as you die more everyday
Your eyes wrinkle up as you fade
I didn't talk like I should, I never said anything good
Was not a man who held the flag like you would
Used to believe I could...
I'm all out of love.
You are the burden I still keep and now I can't feel anything
My hands have grown too tired and weak
Now you're out of reach...
I'm awake as you sleep.
And did you feel alive?
As it poured up inside and the smoke filled your eyes
Did you feel alive?
As you were faking a smile, the tears in your eyes
I'm not the dark that fills your place and I let you have your space
Don't hold me in account for my old ways
Cause the sun will burnout someday and we'll all fade away

I remember the storm, seen all that you are
And as the dust settled in you would blow with the wind from afar
I used to walk down the street and you would walk just like me
And I would picture a house and a man who ran out on his dreams
Who looked like me...
And you look so free, you just float with the sea,
But me I am lost, I don't recognize myself I just bleed
I could see it on your face, oh what a beautiful day
You were still as you came and I felt all your shame come over me
And I believed...
And you look so free, you just float with the sea
But me I am lost, I don't recognize myself I just bleed
I'm still looking up to find what I'll become
I'm still looking up and as the stars adjust I start to see
And you look so free, you just float with the sea,
But me I am lost, I don't recognize myself I just bleed

I still look in the fire
I still pray one day that I will just close my eyes
The flames you've burned inside are dying more tonight
I'm down to the wire
Ella don't put me in the past
Because my mouth is shut but I'm still looking back
Is this your god or mine?
Put a man in my place now I'm just standing in line
And I've looked on the other side, I'm not going there tonight
I'm down to the wire
Ella don't be so quick to run
Ella don't be so quick to run
Made a home for us and now I'm just living alone
You would lay at night with your hand in mine
And lie every night when I laid by your side
I'm down to the wire

I'm a ghost, a shadow on a road
A reflection of what once belonged
Your abandoned home, abandon my hope
You have carried along and I have stayed alone
And more dead leaves fall from my tree
Won't you rescue me from my misery?
Will I shine when it is my time?
I burn up inside and you're doing fine
And more dead leaves fall from my tree
Won't you rescue me from my misery?
Kind girl, when will I see?
Kind girl, when will I see?
I was not what you need

You were pressing on my skin and I almost felt you coming in
Oh I would have died to see you live
And I feel you coming back again
So I'll hold you close, feel you burn up my love as I burn out
And i've seen it all, watched you slide into my heart as I just breathed you out
Carried stones so far above my above and I feel their weight on my back again
Through the gates and to the end I've gone to rest
And I'll sit on the ground where your bones had been
So I'll hold you close, feel you burn up my love as I burn out
And i've seen it all, watched you slide into my heart as I just breathed you out
