Raise Me

RAISE ME

I know what it's like to see his face

cold dark nights & bitter taste

Thought this time he'd push me past the edge

felt that body pressed against my chest

cold air breathing down my neck

giving in to consequences 

til you came to raise me from the dead

til you came to raise me from the dead

I Followed that familiar creature

to Wallow in the waste of my regret

But Time is such a cruel teacher

Wish all i knew now i knew it then

Waking to a dark surrender

Well without the strength to lift my head

For dreaming that i can't remember

And you said

No i won't let go no i don't mind

& i'll be here waiting til you remember hope

I won't let go we'll give it time

& i'll be here waiting til you find your way home

 i won't let go no i don't mind

& i'll be here waiting til you find your way home

I can feel you gaze upon me

But I don't have the strength to lift my head

Wish i could raise my eyes to meet yours

But i don't have the strength to lift my head

I can feel you warm as witness

But I don't have the strength to lift my head

you say i'm worth my weight in weakness

You Love as if to raise me from the dead
