Heaven bend to take my hand
And lead me through the fire Be the long awaited answer To a long and painful fight Truth be told I tried my best But somewhere along the way I got caught up in all there was to offer And the cost was so much more than I could bear Though I've tried I've fallen I have sunk so low I've messed up Better I should know So don't come round here and Tell me I told you so We all begin with good intent When love was raw and young We believe that we can change ourselves The past can be undone But we carry on our back the burden time always reveals In the lonely light of morning In the wound that would not heal It's the bitter taste of losing everything I've held so dear I've fallen I have sunk so low I've messed up Better I should know So don't come round here and Tell me I told you so Heaven bend to take my hand With no where left to turn I'm lost to those I thought were friends To everyone I know Oh they turn their heads embarrassed Pretend that they don't see That it's one missed step, one slip before you know it And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed Though I've tried I've fallen I have sunk so low I've messed up Better I should know So don't come round here and Tell me I told you so I've messed up Better I should know Don't come round here and Tell me I told you so |

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance for a break that would make it okay there's always one reason to feel not good enough and it's hard at the end of the day I need some distraction oh beautiful release memory seeps from my veins let me be empty or weightless and maybe I'll find some peace tonight In the arms of the angel fly away from here from this dark, cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort here So tired of the straight line and everywhere you turn there's vultures and thieves at your back and the storm keeps on twisting you keep on building the lies that you make up for all that you lack it don't make no difference escape one last time it's easier to believe oh in this sweet madness this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees In the arms of the angel fly away from here from this dark, cold hotel room and the endlessness that you fear you are pulled from the wreckage of your silent reverie you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort there you're in the arms of the angel may you find some comfort here some comfort here |

You come out at night
that's when the energy comes and the dark side's light and the vampires roam you strut your astor wear and your suicide poem and a cross from a faith that died before Jesus came you're building a mystery You live in a church where you sleep with voodoo dolls and you won't give up the search for the ghosts in the halls you wear sandals in the snow and a smile that won't wash away can you look out the window without your shadow getting in the way oh you're so beautiful with an edge and a charm but so careful when I'm in your arms CHORUS 'Cause you're working building a mystery holding on and holding it in yeah you're working building a mystery and choosing so carefully You woke up screaming aloud a prayer from your secret god you feed off our fears and hold back your tears Give us a tantrum and a know it all grin just when we need one when the evening's thin Oh you're a beautiful a beautiful fucked up man you're setting up your razor wire shrine CHORUS REPEAT CHORUS |

Adia I do believe I failed you
Adia I know I let you down don't you know I tried so hard to love you in my way it's easy let it go... Adia I'm empty since you left me trying to find a way to carry on I search myself and everyone to see where we went wrong 'cause there's no one left to finger there's no one here to blame there's no one left to talk to honey and there ain't no one to buy our innocence 'cause we are born innocent believe me Adia, we are still innocent it's easy, we all falter does it matter? Adia I thought that we could make it but I know I can't change the way you feel I leave you with your misery a friend who won't betray I pull you from your tower I take away your pain and show you all the beauty you possess if you'd only let yourself believe that we are born innocent believe me Adia, we are still innocent it's easy, we all falter, does it matter? believe me Adia, we are still innocent 'cause we are born innocent Adia we are still it's easy, we all falter ... but does it matter? |

I will be the answer
At the end of the line I will there for you While you take the time In the burning of uncertainty I will be your solid ground I will hold the balance If you can't look down If it takes my whole life I won't break, I won't bend It will all be worth it Worth it in the end ‘Cause I can only tell you what I know That I need you in my life And when the stars have all gone out You'll still be burning so bright Cast me gently Into morning For the night has been unkind Take me to a A place so holy That I can wash this from my mind The memory of choosing not to fight If it takes my whole life I won't break, I won't bend It will all be worth it Worth it in the end ‘Cause I can only tell you what I know That I need you in my life And when the stars have all burned out You'll still be burning so bright Cast me gently Into morning For the night has been unkind |
