Lyrics
I know I said that I was gonna hang around
But my arms are getting tired
I didn't want to be the one to let you down
But I've come to realize
It's not my fight, it's not my life
This time it's not my call to make
You stand so tall, but you might be wrong
And I'm not strong enough to break again
CHORUS
I know I said I was good friends with hard
But this is as hard as it gets
And I can't follow you into the dark
When I know where the light is
I've been trying to guide you straight into sunshine
Been trying to brighten your day with my pretty rhymes
I think it's time that you wander on home
And I'll go where the light is
I know I said that I was gonna hear you out
But there's static in your voice
And normally, I'd grit my teeth and stand my ground
But I can't get past the noise
It's just too loud, and I can't breathe out
And I'm not proud, but I can't stand
I know you're weak; your heart barely beats
I'd pray for peace, but I just can't pretend
CHORUS
I know I said I was good friends with hard
But this is as hard as it gets
And I can't follow you into the dark
When I know where the light is
I've been trying to guide you straight into sunshine
Been trying to brighten your day with my pretty rhymes
I think it's time that you wander on home
And I'll go where the light is
I only wanted to be the one you called
When the walls were tumbling down
I never wanted to be the one holding hands
When the avalanche hit the ground
Now we're surrounded by rubble, but the dust hasn't settled;
It's just floating around
I see the bricks as they fall, but I can' t save you at all
And my heart rings with the sound of your cries
But it's still not my fight
CHORUS
I know I said I was good friends with hard
But this is as hard as it gets
And I can't follow you into the dark
When I know where the light is
I've been trying to guide you straight into sunshine
Been trying to brighten your day with my pretty rhymes
I think it's time that you wander on home
And I'll go where the light is
