I've waited, and given the chance again, I'd do it all the same, but either way I'm always outplayed, up on your down days, I left it the right way, to start again Now watch me rise up and leave, All the ashes you made out of me, When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, Just look how long I've agreed Just look how long I've agreed Out of place, like a gem on a coalface Lost on the right way, it's all the same 'Cause I've had my hopes raised, riding the wrong waves Scared when you feel safe to start again Now watch me rise up and leave, All the ashes you made out of me, When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, just look how wrong I could be Now watch me rise up and leave, All the ashes you made out of me When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, you blew me away Away Away Away Now watch me rise up and leave, All the ashes you made out of me, When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, just look how wrong I could be Now watch me rise up and leave, All the ashes you made out of me When you said that we were wrong, life goes on, you blew me away Away Away Away I sink like a stone, I lost my control I sink like a stone, I lost my control I sink like a stone, I lost my control
