And now that you're gone I feel I'm to blame yeah I feel I'm to blame I just wish that you spoke up and held out your hand I waited for you but you never came, no you never came I was waiting for you man, right down there by the sea Where we used to

It was patience that we had And the miles that we had left That held us there Until we could let go I was born in 1989 All we could do (If our hearts would ever come around) And I didn't hurt nobody No shakes or coughs or burst relief

And we danced Out there on that empty hardwood floor The chairs up and the lights turned way down low The music played, we held each other close The bar was empty I was sweeping up the floor That's when she walked in I said, I'm sorry but we're closed

There and back again Bull just carried on Under fire he carried them out one by one Bullets all around Out of the men that he carried away Twelve men would now live to see one more day His fear held at bay as he carried them away Sometimes war is killing

There's a way out Be held down She could be a Statue of Liberty She could be a Joan of Arc But he's scared of the light that's inside of her So he keeps her in the dark Oh, she used to be a pearl, oh Yeah, she used to rule the world, oh Can't believe

Inside this dying world I can only imagine that wrath is being held out So there will be time for us to be redeemed But surely wrath is not being held out So that we may redeem ourselves For I've seen the madness Of those who died trying But is regret

Whenever you remember Whenever you remember times gone by Remember how we held our heads so high When all this world was there for us And we believed that we could touch the sky Whenever you remember, I'll be there Remember how we reached that dream

I'll shout it out like a bird set free I find myself in my melodies I sing for love, I sing for me You held me down We hold on so tight, we cannot deny Eats us alive, oh it eats us alive, oh Yes, there's a scream inside that we all try to hide We hold on
