Stand back and watch me burn this down
and look past all these insecurities.
Grab my hand we’ve got a lot to talk about
I could spend hours thinking and never speaking.
While you sleep and dream of better things
I’ll stay awake and watch it fade away
And before you wake
I’ll say a prayer in your name
Stand up and breathe,
stop living for everything you once had faith in.
Today’s a new day
Take down the flags we’ve got one last battle on our hands
I’m here to tell the story of broken hearts and broken dreams
So here’s the words I speak and carry on without me
It’s freezing where you are but in the south girl, I’m dying
Reaching out for something that isn’t there.
Trying to breathe but I just run out of air
While I sleep and dream of better things.
Will you stay awake and watch it fade away?
And before I wake say a prayer in my name
