Survive
Lyrics
And I swore I saw a hand reaching through the clouds
And I felt the weight of shame all around
And I know you never promised us a single thing
But we're here still with our hands out
And it's true that I could never measure up, but faithfully, my eyes are still upward
And they say, "Sir, may we ask what you're about?"
Oh, but you will never figure out...
This world was the match you lit to watch it burn
If you take the hope away, what's left it won't be pretty
My world explodes
I gave it all, but you wanted more
I'll soon be gone...
And I believe you said to follow this simple rule
But it's difficult when I hate myself
And I complicate everything that I touch
Is that something you would know about?
This world was the match you lit to watch it burn
If you take the hope away, what's left it won't be pretty
My world explodes
I gave it all, but you wanted more
I'll soon be gone...
If you can hear me don't be so bold to be the next one knocking down my door
Just stay away...
And I'll just survive somehow
This world was the match you lit to watch it burn
If you take the hope away, what's left it won't be pretty
My world explodes
I gave it all, but you wanted more
I'll soon be gone...
And I swore I saw a hand reaching through the clouds
And I felt the weight of shame all around
And I know you never promised us a single thing
But we're here still with our hands out
And it's true that I could never measure up, but faithfully, my eyes are still upward
And they say, "Sir, may we ask what you're about?"
Oh, but you will never figure out...
This world was the match you lit to watch it burn
If you take the hope away, what's left it won't be pretty
My world explodes
I gave it all, but you wanted more
I'll soon be gone...
And I believe you said to follow this simple rule
But it's difficult when I hate myself
And I complicate everything that I touch
Is that something you would know about?
This world was the match you lit to watch it burn
If you take the hope away, what's left it won't be pretty
My world explodes
I gave it all, but you wanted more
I'll soon be gone...
If you can hear me don't be so bold to be the next one knocking down my door
Just stay away...
And I'll just survive somehow
This world was the match you lit to watch it burn
If you take the hope away, what's left it won't be pretty
My world explodes
I gave it all, but you wanted more
I'll soon be gone...
