I saw the signs and took my chances
I pulled the vines and broke the branches
Your heart was mine, I thought that I could hold you, steady, steady
In the madness, watered the roots that you had planted
Deep in my heart I thought that I could hold you, steady, oh steady
Falling from the highest height, and nothing would've made us ready
As the light was washing from my eyes, I swore that I could hold you steady
Now I know you're not the one for me - I swore that I could hold you steady
Now I know you're not the one for me - I can't hold you, I can't hold you
Now I know you're not the one for me - I swore that I could hold you steady
Now I know you're not the one for me - I can't hold you, I can't hold you
Wanted to heal the earth around you
Seasons had changed, I never left you
So why did we freeze out in the sun in silence trying, was trying?
Took my chances
Lost in the darkened circumstances
Carried the weight until it was too heavy, heavy, oh heavy
Falling from the highest height, and nothing would've made us ready
As the light was washing from my eyes, I swore that I could hold you steady
Now I know you're not the one for me - I swore that I could hold you steady
Now I know you're not the one for me - I can't hold you, I can't hold you
Now I know you're not the one for me - I swore that I could hold you steady
Now I know you're not the one for me - I can't hold you, I can't hold you
Tried to mend what's broken
Walked the wire with dignity
As my eyes are looking into the sun, I'm facing a new reality
I tried to mend what's broken
Walked the wire with dignity
As my eyes are looking into the sun, I'm facing a new reality
Oh, I tried to mend what's broken
Walked the wire with dignity
As my eyes are looking into the sun, I'm facing a new reality
