Until I Collapse

It's been a few years, since I packed my bags, left all I knew

Face fear, to define a life that's built on breaking through

How much longer will it take? No, I can't wait forever

A picture painted in my mind, it seems my days are numbered

Maybe I'm the one that's scared of all that we could make

Maybe you're the one who left me on a lapse of faith

But even when it seems the weight is far too much to take

I won't collapse for anything

You call, there's a quiver in your voice that I read

"Give up, don't you think it's time you came back home to me

You've been chasing a dream, but dreams don't last forever

Though it means more than anything, at least we'll have each other."

Maybe I'm the one that's scared of all that we could make

Maybe you're the one who left me on a lapse of faith

But even when it seems the weight is far too much to take

I won't collapse for anything

Heart beat slow, guide me where to go

It's taken long enough to get here, would I be better off

Cold but not alone, here without a home

Tell me why I can't quit shaking, while I'm bleeding at the stake

And I don't know anymore, what I'm really fighting for

This is bigger than the both of us, you're the only one I trust anymore

And what kills me, is how could you forget me?

I stayed right where you left me

But open wounds can't heal when you're still tearing them apart

And what fills me, is hope to find what's missing

And I refuse to quit 'til I've rebuilt another heart
