We are so far away from home
I am the static on a broken pay-phone
And as the flickered street lights try in vain
To light the way i'l stray from them
Taking my life into my hands
This is the coldest that i have ever been
And every tired heartbeat pulls and strains
To find the strenght
To fill my veins tonight
So if i die in my sleep
Don't light a candle for me
For every heart that i broke
For every lie that that i spoke
If i don't make it to the sunrise
Was i good enough in your eyes?
Did i do everything i could
To live a life that i should?
Now as the years leave their mark on my face
They take a piece of my soul i can never replace
And i hope that you know how i loved you to death
I'll see you when we're laid to rest for good
So if i die in my sleep
Don't light a candle for me
For every heart that i broke
For every lie that that i spoke
If i don't make it to the sunrise
Was i good enough in your eyes?
Did i do everything i could
To live a life that i should?
We only get one chance to make it
We only get one chance to do this right
We only get one chance to make it
Did i do everything i could to fly?
On the longest hour of the coldest night
I will be lying awake nursing swollen eyes
Thinking how i could change i could sacrifice
To make it all right
All right again
