We often asked my honest friend
If we'd hold on tight 'til the end
Your knowing smile just breaks me down
And leaves fighting words in my mouth
I will light you up, I will light you up

For you and I, love was a fire escape
For you and I, lived on broken faith
For you and I , today is not the ending
Today is not the ending you would like

Without these lights to lead us home
We're just drifting blind out here alone
What we forgive, what we forget
SoI'll be a martyr in your background whispering words of faithfulness
I will light you up, I will light you up

For you and I, love was a fire escape
For you and I, lived on broken faith
For you and I, stood tall until the ending
Today is not the ending you would like

Now the silence chokes, talk to me my friend
Am I not a victim, tell me why I should pretend
When the silence breaks, faces in the room
People gaping wide-eyed at the space from me to you
People gaping wide eyed at the space from me to you

For you and I, love was a fire escape
For you and I, lived on broken faith
For you and I, stood tall until the ending
Today is not the ending you would like

You would like...
