Now I know That I can't make you stay But where's your heart? But where's your heart? But where's your And I know There's nothing I can say To change that part To change that part To change So many Bright lights that cast a shadow But can I speak? Well, is it hard understanding I'm incomplete? A life that's so demanding I get so weak A love that's so demanding I can't speak I am not afraid to keep on living I am not afraid to walk this world alone Honey, if you stay I'll be forgiven Nothing you can say can stop me going home Can you see My eyes are shining bright? 'Cause I'm out here On the other side Of a jet black Hotel mirror And I'm so weak Is it hard understanding I'm incomplete? A love that's so demanding I get weak I am not afraid to keep on living I am not afraid to walk this world alone Honey, if you stay I'll be forgiven Nothing you can say can stop me going home I am not afraid to keep on living I am not afraid to walk this world alone Honey, if you stay I'll be forgiven Nothing you can say can stop me going home These bright lights have always blinded me These bright lights have always blinded me I say I see you lying next to me With words I thought I'd never speak Awake and unafraid Asleep or dead 'Cause I see you lying next to me With words I thought I'd never speak Awake and unafraid Asleep or dead 'Cause I see you lying next to me With words I thought I'd never speak Awake and unafraid Asleep or dead 'Cause I see you lying next to me With words I thought I'd never speak Awake and unafraid Asleep or dead I am not afraid to keep on living I am not afraid to walk this world alone Honey, if you stay I'll be forgiven Nothing you can say can stop me going home I am not afraid to keep on living I am not afraid to walk this world alone Honey, if you stay I'll be forgiven Nothing you can say can stop me going home I am not afraid to keep on living I am not afraid to walk this world alone Honey, if you stay I'll be forgiven Nothing you can say can stop me going home
