Seeing you for the first time
In this light shining right where I never wanted it to.
Knowing this won't be the last time
That I feel this way.
I only feel you when I'm breathing
So let me die tonight.
A blinded castle keeps on feeling
The strong and silent fight

To be heard. To be understood now.
To be feared. To have all the cards in your hand.
And I don't want to see you crying.
I don't want to see you left alone with nothing to call your own.
I don't want to see you crying,
But I didn't want to see you smiling at him while I fall;
While I call.

I can't stand here forever, but it's
Too hard to sit down on this ground where you've laid your only word
And I am feeling a bit under the weather
It's cold outside tonight
I didn't ask for much in this situation,
But it feels like I've left with less than I began.
To be heard. To be understood now.
To be feared. To have all the cards in your hand.
And I don't want to see you crying.
I don't want to see you left alone with nothing to call your own.
I don't want to see you crying,
But I didn't want to see you smiling at him while I fall;
While I call your name out.
