Behind your back a cold surprise

In favor of the third degree

I took a breath and took the knife

No, I won't defend the killer in me

And I wanted to but couldn't die

I know you know what that's been like

Never backed down only fell down in blinding light

You pinned me under evening's glow

Didn't count on you

But you counted all day

You're breaking every rule

I'm breaking down on every corner

No, healing isn't easy

But when you look at me, I'm lifted high up

Higher than my rain clouds

Sitting on the mountain, now I'm high up

Never wanna come down

When you look at me, I'm lifted

Blue skies are all I see when

Your eyes are locked on me, I'm high up

Never wanna come down

High up

So when I met my darkest hour

A traitor to the bleeding night

You saw me cowered in the corner

And offered me a second chance

Now every night I wrestle love

Didn't know that it could hurt this much

I count to 3 and take the jump

And never really hit the ground

Didn't count on you

But you counted all day

You're breaking every rule

I'm breaking down on every corner

No, healing isn't easy

But when you look at me, I'm lifted high up

Higher than my rain clouds

Sitting on the mountain, now I'm high up

Never wanna come down

When you look at me, I'm lifted

Blue skies are all I see when

Your eyes are locked on me, I'm high up

Never wanna come down

High up
