...

All this time

it was staring me in the face

I was so far gone

I could have ended it right there

I was dead in the ring, lost in the race

All this time

it was with me when I was nowhere



Well it cuts the deepest

when you watch it moving in

And there ain't nothing

you can do to turn it round

There ain't no armor can save you then

Love takes no prisoners

on this battleground



And letting go

is the hardest part

When holding on

has been everything

Well I have this pain deep in my heart

That's why I sing,

that's why I sing



Cut me open

when I'm dead and gone

You'll see this one ring,

stained dark as wine

This was always to be part of my story

Not yours but mine,

not yours but mine



And letting go

is the hardest part

Holding on,

some semblance of control

Well I have this pain deep in my heart

But I am still whole,

I am still whole



And I will waste my heart on fear no more

I will find a secret bell and make it ring

And let the rest be washed up on the shore

They can't be tamed, these wilder things

No, they can't be tamed, these wilder things
