We'll try to heal but the scars won't form, And the pieces of you, they cut me to the core, Like a bomb in the night, a piece of shrapnel left from a knife fight. You'll fall asleep as we talk about our dreams, Like the house by the lake, that would fix these wounds, But a thief in the dark, he stole you for a new start I tried to be a better man, but I set the whole thing on fire, I tried to be a better man, a better man I'm sinking into the cold dark deep, but my hands are tied by the rope we wrapped around our love, Don't cut me loose, I want to drown next to you I'll take the knife you slipped in my back, so you can carve me out of the stone you set me in, You can build me up, we'll find comfort from this sin I tried to be a better man, but you set the whole thing on fire, I tried to be a better man, a better man I tried to be a better man, but you set the whole thing on fire, I tried to be a better man, a better man You will find us, you will find us, you will find us in the dark, You will find us, you will find us, you will find us I tried to be a better man, but we set the whole thing on fire, I tried to be a better man, a better man I tried to be a better man, but we set the whole thing on fire, I tried to be a better man, a better man

Recovery 03:54
So angel I will pick you up, You'll put me out, We can go all night, It doesn't matter what is said and done, We'll leave all of this behind, So give me one last chance before we're through, And I'll make, you mine, Give me one last wish and rest assured, We'll both shine tonight. I'll never let you float away (Don't float away, don't float away) Just keep your head above the waves. I'll leave the lights on so you can find your way back home, This year has been a struggle but I'm here with open arms, I'll leave the lights on so you can find your way back home, The clouds are rolling in so don't leave me alone, Tonight You were all the rage, so goddamn sweet, So goddamn smart, But everything you saw in me, Now seems lost, we've just fallen apart, Can we push rewind, can we hit reset, Can we, take it from the start, I want you now, I need you back, One last chance to leave my mark I'll never let you float away (Don't float away, don't float away) Just keep your head above the waves. I'll leave the lights on so you can find your way back home, This year has been a struggle but I'm here with open arms, I'll leave the lights on so you can find your way back home, The clouds are rolling in so don't leave me alone, Tonight Don't float away, don't float away... Don't float away... I'll leave the lights on so you can find your way back home, This year has been a struggle but I'm here with open arms, I'll leave the lights on so you can find your way back home, The clouds are rolling in so don't leave me alone, Tonight

Had It All 03:37
We lay together, dreaming with our eyes open, Drawing plans across the wall, I won't leave empty handed tonight, I won't let go, won't give up the fight. You traced my life line and pulled me closer, Bared my soul, gave you my all Your breath on my skin it felt like heaven, Moved together like never before. You thought the grass was greener, so you crossed the rising river, Find everything that shimmered, was dead and gone. SO when you come back over, you'll start to sink under, Find every bridge you burnt is dead and gone. You and I, we could have had it all, had it all, You and I, we could have had it all, had it all, You and I, we were worth the drive, but Things That Matter were worth more of your time. This new classic is so unamerican, what chance do I have at all, Wait for the engine to stall and start over, hope to God it breaks my fall. Could have gone off to take on the world, Chase the horizon line, You promised forever and always, but, forever, was always a lie. You and I, we could have had it all, had it all, You and I, we could have had it all, had it all, You and I, we were worth the drive, but Things That Matter were worth more of your time. I wrote love on my arms, So I could pick up the pieces when it all falls apart, Saw my future disappear, and my past it went dark. I wrote love on my arms, So I could pick up the pieces when it all falls apart, Saw my future disappear, and my past it went dark. It should have been ours.

Rain flecked windows and wipers, ticking a beat, It's just the clutter that's in my head it's, The same around my feet Skies gone dark now and only headlights lead, The light in the dark is the only light, I need I'll move back west to heal, I'm wiping my slate clean, I'll find the ghost of who I used to be, He can show me how to feel, I'll move back west to heal, But strength in these broken bones, I'll find the ghost of who I used to be and he can lead me home I'm home for the summer, From my little trip away, I'm coming down hard, from that four year holiday, The journey home has left me, With such a bitter taste, I'm letting go of holding on, And now, I'm drowning in this space I'll move back west to heal, I'm wiping my slate clean, I'll find the ghost of who I used to be, He can show me how to feel, I'll move back west to heal, But strength in these broken bones, I'll find the ghost of who I used to be and he can lead me home Remember morning calls, And words to get us through the day, Nothing more than pillow talk, From miles, and miles away, I'm not sure who I called, All those years ago, But I'm god damn sure as hell I won't be calling you now I'll move back west to heal, I'm wiping my slate clean, I'll find the ghost of who I used to be, He can show me how to feel, I'll move back west to heal, But strength in these broken bones, I'll find the ghost of who I used to be and he can lead me home I'll move back west to heal, I'll move back, (I still feel the same way) I'll move back west to heal, I'll move back, (I still feel the same way) I'll move back west to heal, I'll move back, (I still feel the same way)
