Lifeline Lyrics

You threw me that lifeline

But all I can remember

Are all of my mistakes

With these words of love

With these hands of hate

All I can think of is what can I create

Something special for the lovers

Something angry for the hateful

Anything but this handful

Of empty promises

And broken tokens of

All my failures to come

And they will come

With the rising tide

With the setting sun

They come

And I must choose

What am I to do

With all this pain

All on my own

Alone

You gave me so much time

But for all my attempts to take

I left everything to waste

I spoke hateful words

In love my hands I worked

And I

Slipped away

I let my crisis spin me

In a mighty whirlwind down

Down

Down

And I

Was stripped of all I held dear

And now

I am a beggar for your ear

To hear my cry

All I wish

Is to be

What we knew I could always be

Someone to love you and hold you near

Someone to shut out all the fear

To keep that light lit and burning brightly

To fill your desires and keep the nightmares at bay

Out of sight and out mind

All I need is a little more time

Just a little more

Give me a little bit more

Time

Time

Take me back

Please bring me home

For all that I still lack

Please just bring me home
