lyrics

For the longest time, this beating heart of mine -
Stopped.

And I was living a lie, hearing every voice but mine,
Because I didn’t have the words to say,

The world won’t make you brave,
That’s a choice we all must make,
Because playing it safe,
Never gives you what it takes...

And I lost myself,
And I lost myself,
Yeah I lost myself for awhile,

And I lost myself,
And I lost myself,
And I lost myself for awhile.

No, I don’t want your tears,
Thought you should know there were some years,
When I was a ghost,

A lone wolf, lost in the stars,
Wearing someone else’s skin,
Only ever covers up those scars,

And I traded my blood, all for iron,
Instead of love,
Sweat for my tears,
And I woke up after years,
To the stranger I’d become,

And I lost myself,
And I lost myself,
Yeah I lost myself for awhile,

And I lost myself,
Yeah I lost myself,
Yeah I lost myself for awhile.

If you want, if you’re not afraid to try,
We could, lose ourselves for a while.
If you’re not, ready to say goodbye,
We could lose ourselves for a while.

Yeah we could lose ourselves…

for a while...
