I see the light at the end
Of this road, but I won't catch it
I could plead, I could beg
Down on my knees but I won't do it

I won't get the only thing
That means anything at all
And I know I've used up your
Strength to catch me when I fall

I know I burned out all my light
I'm not giving up this time

I can't make the world stop spinning for a day
I can't keep the shore from breaking every wave
I can't stop the way life gives to take away
I can't stop the way I live for yesterday

I know the steps, can't walk the walk
I know I'll fail in the end
Afraid of falling, learned to crawl
Began to break instead of bend

I say the words, I hide my fear
When it's eating me alive

I run away from my emotion
Locked it up so tight inside

Took my shine from my own eyes
I gave up all my will to fight

I can't make the world stop spinning for a day
I can't keep the shore from breaking every wave
I can't stop the way life gives to take away
I can't stop the way I live for yesterday

I can't make the world stop spinning for a day
I can't keep the shore from breaking every wave
I can't stop the way life gives to take away
I can't stop the way I live for yesterday
