We Rebuild

I have too much pride
To admit
That I was wrong
To keep you here
By my side
We rebuild
Making the same mistakes
When the water runs low
Our pride runs high
But it'll rise again

We convince ourselves
That it's worth the risk
But when the water fills our lungs,
We know that it's foolish to rebuild
We convince ourselves
That it's worth the risk
It's all my fault

We are up to our knees in the water
Watching our memories float away like the dead
We are up to our knees
Making the same mistakes
We are up to our knees
OH!

It's not worth the risk that we take

I'm asleep when the sun rises
And wide awake every night
My darling has left me hanging
And she will not
Cut me down
Cut me down
No, she won't let me go
I'm wide awake all alone

We convince ourselves
That it's worth the risk
And we refuse to call for rescue
Everything is destroyed
We try to stay afloat
I have too much pride
To admit we were wrong

OH!
I will not let her go
I will not
Let her go
OH!
I will not
I will not let her go
She is mine!

I will rebuild to watch it fall down again
But all you want is solid ground
I will rebuild to watch it fall down again
But all you want is solid ground
I'd rather drown than stand on solid ground
I'd rather drown than stand on solid ground

I'm asleep when the sun rises
And wide awake every night
My darling has left me hanging
And she will not
Cut me down
Cut me down
No, she won't let me go
I'm wide awake all alone

When the waters run low,
Our pride runs high.
When the storm destroys our hope
We always deny

That this is what we wanted
That this is what we needed
I'd rather drown, I'd rather drown
But this is what we wanted
But this is what we needed
I'd rather drown, I'd rather drown

I'm asleep when the sun rises
And wide awake every night
My darling has left me hanging
And she will not
Cut me down
Cut me down
No, she won't let me go
I'm wide awake all alone
