□ 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 who'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 who'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

Maybe I'm the one who'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

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 till I've rebuilt another heart
