I'm the rust in the ring
I'm the tears running down your face
Oh, I'm the blood is rushing through your veins
I'm the numb is pushing out the pain
Whatever I am to you that's fine
Whatever I am to you that's fine
But I hope that your children get's to know my name
And I hope that your heart can figure out the pain
I hope I hope
You won't let it got to waste
I hope I hope
I'm a flare in the Sun
I'm the damadged that's been done
Oh, I'm a ghost in the night
I'm the darkest shade of the light
Whatever I am to you that's fine
Whatever I am to you that's fine
But I hope that your children gets to know my name
And I hope that your heart can figured out the pain
And I hope I hope
You wont let it go to waste
I hope I hope
But it takes time
To fix it up
Though I pick up all the pieces out the dust
It takes time
To fix it up
Though I pick up all the pieces out the dust, there's nothing left of us
I hope that children gets to know my name
But I hope that your heart can figure out the pain
I hope I hope
You won't let it go to waste
I hope I hope
