I’m standing on the edge of the world, and I’m trying not to break.
Every time you watch me fall, another breath of mine you take.
And every time we’re moving forward, and every move I make.
The truth is right before your eyes, I count the seconds ‘till you wake.
Have you ever been hurt by somebody you love?
Every time I look at you I get left behind,
but don’t you know that I would take on the world for you.
If you opened your eyes to this world, I world alone I can’t face.
To feel your touch makes it better, our memories I embrace.
For I am the one you left, the one you left in pain.
You said it was for my own good, but I know you feel the same way.
Have you ever been hurt by somebody you love?
Every time I look at you I get left behind,
but don’t you know that I would take on the world for you.
Have you ever been hurt by somebody you love?
Every time I look at you I get left behind,
but don’t you know that I would take on the world for you.
For you,
I would take on the world for you.
Divisions
A shared ideal so radiant in light, was broken down and removed from sight.
Chasing an endless dream through the door, liberating places I’ve been before,
What remains? Where have we come from?
Can’t tie you in, can’t break the wall, can’t change these Divisions at all.
Diamond in rough, I will not see, what you may or may not come to be.
The feeling is new, yet so long ago, the cracks were shown, we should’ve known.
Let me ask what it means to you; give me the answer I know to be true.
Its all the same, who do we live for?
Can’t tie you in, can’t break the wall, can’t change these Divisions at all.
Diamond in rough, I will not see, what you may or may not come to be.
Can’t tie you in, Can’t tie you in,
Can’t tie you in, Can’t tie you in.
