White Lies - Power & The Glory Lyrics

What if I were to disobey
Give you back the power
Would I be punished like a child?
And left on my own

Would you think me ungrateful
And send me away?
If I couldn't make you happy

I was empty handed leaving
As I was when I came
Tip-toeing through the rubble
And running through the flames

I was empty handed leaving
As I was when I came
Tip-toeing through the rubble
And running through the flames

I was empty handed leaving
As I was when I came
Tip-toeing through the rubble
And running through the flames

I was empty handed leaving
As I was when I came
Tip-toeing through the rubble
And running through the flames

What if I were to disobey
Give you back the power
Would you be the one to turn you back
And cast the first stone

Would you think me a coward
Though I'd be the hero
And come home a hero

I gave you back your power
I gave you back your glory
Well, really, I hadn't noticed

Until I had the power
To give it all back
Until I felt the glory
When the buildings collapsed

I gave you back your power
I gave you back your glory
Well, really, I hadn't noticed

Until I had the power
To give it all back
Until I felt the glory
When the buildings collapsed

I was empty handed leaving
As I was when I came
Tip-toeing through the rubble
And running through the flames

I was empty handed leaving
As I was when I came
Tip-toeing through the rubble
And running through the flames

I was empty handed leaving
As I was when I came
Tip-toeing through the rubble
And running through the flames

I was empty handed leaving
As I was when I came
Tip-toeing through the rubble
And running through the flames

I gave you back your power
I gave you back your glory
Well, really, I hadn't noticed

Until I had the power
To give it all back
Until I felt the glory
When the buildings collapsed

I gave you back your power
I gave you back your glory
Well, really, I hadn't noticed

Until I had the power
To give it all back
Until I felt the glory
When the buildings collapsed

I gave you back your power
I gave you back your glory
I gave you back your power
I gave you back your glory

I gave you back your power
I gave you back your glory
I gave you back your power
I gave you back your glory
