be with me some how
it's too much, too soon
I've still got a fresh wound
and it's safe to say
tomorrow's another day
and then you can see
all that's left here is me
it's still right, but so wrong
I've waited so long
for something... anything
but every angel has wings
and it's safe to say
mine just flew away
and now you can see
all that's left here is me
standing tall, I still breathe
my heart is nailed to your sleeve
hurt but still living, I'll go on
and every day has it's dawn.
I've come down today to face my pain
it's all locked up in you
I'm tattered, torn and I'm blue
and it's safe to say
tomorrow's another day
and then you will see,
all that's left here is me
standing tall, I still breathe
my heart is nailed to your sleeve
hurt but still living, I'll go on
and every day has it's dawn.
I never thought you'd ever say good bye
never though you'd spread your wings and fly
never thought we'd have so little time
never thought these bandages would dry.
standing tall, I still breathe
my heart is nailed to your sleeve
hurt but still living, I'll go on
and every day has it's dawn.
standing tall, I still breathe
my heart is nailed to your sleeve
hurt but still living, I'll go on
and every day has it's dawn.
