I'll hide away where you can't find me
'Cause I want to keep the fire in my fight
If I leave the lights of this city behind me
Then I leave the men that keep them alight

And I know that you love the game that now breaks me
But I hope that you're not a thief in the making
Or I'll go my own way

It's february now and nothing is changing
I saw the sun and it melted away
A thousand feet tread the bridges this morning
The water below so heartlessly tamed

But I've grown a passion that's far less forgiving
And I don't count you as a reason for living
I could go my own way

On a day like this
I fight through the city I live in
Hope that there's something left to give to you

Luck cheats the game beneath this horizon
So many things I'm a prisoner to
But everyone leaves a trail behind them
And I choose the path that led me to you

I hope that I can stay true to the calling
'Cause I can't control all the ways that I'm falling
I fall apart some days

On a day like this
I fight through the city I live in
Hope that there's something left to give to you
