Embers

I fell to my knees
Couldn't find the strength to keep
Fighting on, just wished to leave
Then you reached right out to me
Thought the world was so cold
I was standing on my own
Now 'cause of you I ain't letting go
Oh

I thought I was lonely
Now I got you to hold, to hold, yeah
The things I can't explain, you say
You know
You know
It's like

I wanted to die
Then they walked in my life
Then she stayed by my side
And these people are my light
And I hope they stay forever
We'll be sharing all our nights
And when it all breaks down to embers
I'll be glad they were in my life
Oh, oh
I'll be glad they were in my life
Oh, oh
I'll be glad they were in my life

I was in the dark till you called up
I was defeated, I was ready to give it all up
But then I met you and my problems seemed smaller
And now it's done, I wouldn't change a thing
'Cause it led me straight to you
Through the pain came something new
Now all the struggling counts for something
'Cause now I got you by my side

I thought I was lonely
Now I got you to hold, to hold, yeah
The things I can't explain, you say
You know
You know
It's like

I wanted to die
Then they walked in my life
Then she stayed by my side
And these people are my light
And I hope they stay forever
We'll be sharing all our nights
And when it all breaks down to embers
I'll be glad they were in my life
Oh, oh
I'll be glad they were in my life
Oh, oh
I'll be glad they were in my life
