lyrics
You're falling again, going down, down, down…
And I won't break your fall
The pain that you hide you've known all your life
And you can't hear my call
The house is on fire, there's no one inside
So why submit to the flames?
It hurts just to watch, the lines I can't cross
And watching you burn's such a shame
And I, I won’t be your soldier anymore
Cause time after time, while I held the line
You could not tell me what I'm fighting for
And I won't be the man dust-covered on your shelf
‘Cause while you are near, I disappear
Thinking I'm saving you but losing myself
You use me for peace, a welcomed respite
And I jump at your whim
What I say is wrong, so I hold my tongue
The truth I bear within...
‘Cause who am I to judge, but one you once loved
But never did you understand
It all now make sense, willful ignorance
Will always guide your hand
And I won't be your soldier anymore
Cause time after time, while I held the line
I could not fathom what I'm fighting for
And I won't be the man dust-covered on your shelf
‘Cause while you are near, I disappear
Thinking I'm saving you, but losing myself...
And I won't break your fall
The pain that you hide you've known all your life
And you can't hear my call
The house is on fire, there's no one inside
So why submit to the flames?
It hurts just to watch, the lines I can't cross
And watching you burn's such a shame
And I, I won’t be your soldier anymore
Cause time after time, while I held the line
You could not tell me what I'm fighting for
And I won't be the man dust-covered on your shelf
‘Cause while you are near, I disappear
Thinking I'm saving you but losing myself
You use me for peace, a welcomed respite
And I jump at your whim
What I say is wrong, so I hold my tongue
The truth I bear within...
‘Cause who am I to judge, but one you once loved
But never did you understand
It all now make sense, willful ignorance
Will always guide your hand
And I won't be your soldier anymore
Cause time after time, while I held the line
I could not fathom what I'm fighting for
And I won't be the man dust-covered on your shelf
‘Cause while you are near, I disappear
Thinking I'm saving you, but losing myself...
