You pushed me down from the race
I was content with second-place
Yes it's true, Until I heard you
We planned a trip to outer space
An introduction to stranger days
Yes it's true, That's when I heard you
I thought I could be stronger
that's when I heard your voice
My nights are so much longer
You've left my heart no choice
 
Our lucky coin showed its tail
A light through rags
A silver vail that's been chewed
by the wolves who pray on you
There was a time where I stayed safe from outside
A blissful state when I knew, My world without you
 
I thought I could be stronger that's when I heard your voice
My nights are so much longer
You've left my heart no choice
 
There she sat on a chair a small guitar her unkempt hair
With no idea that everything would change
When my life came to this
You stopped my breath
I couldn't look away
From the angel on the stage
 
I thought I could be stronger
that's when I heard your voice
My nights are so much longer
You've left my heart no choice
 
with her toy, she starts to play
a simple song, to ease the pain of her youth
a verse she choked through
glistening rain, touched her chin
As she confessed, to the sin
that had stained, a velvet dress she saved
