When I look into your eyes
As you’re staring back at me
I shiver in your void
So cold and so empty
Verse 2:
I gasp a little breath
The words still on my lips
The air feels silent cold
Against my fingertips
Pre-Chorus:
And I don’t know what to say
And I don’t know what to do
To bring you back to life
From this death/depth you’ve fallen into
Chorus:
For all the battles that we win
The wars that we lose
The blood still on your sword
The dust still on your boots
As you walk out of my life
As you fall out of my hands
I wonder just which step
Made you a broken man
Verse 3:
When I hold your calloused hands
As you’re gripping tight to me
I shudder in your grasp
So hard and so angry
Verse 4:
I cry a little tear
The pain still in my eyes
The sadness in my soul
All bundled up inside
Pre-Chorus:
And I don’t know what to say
And I don’t know what to do
To bring you back to life
From this death/depth you’ve fallen into
Chorus:
For all the battles that we win
The wars that we lose
The blood still on your sword
The dust still on your boots
As you walk out of my life
As you fall out of my hands
I wonder just which step
Made you so broken
Bridge:
I know the road is long
And I know heaven’s far away
But I know that you’ll carry on
And come back to me someday
Chorus:
For all the battles that we win
The wars that we lose
The blood still on your sword
The dust still on your boots
As you walk out of my life
You fall out of my hands
I wonder just which step
Made you so …
Outro:
I can be the love
I can be the life
I can be the heaven
You’ve come so far to find
I can be the victory
That makes you strong and whole
I can be the lasting peace
That mends your broken soul
