A Lifetime Burning

There's something wrong in her world today

She screams aloud but just won't say

Never was her strongest point to, hurry up a wait

Now it's all been said and done

A preacher's daughter, a devil's son

Her favorite color, a day alone

No smile on her face

And you…

Were wrong

And you…

Were wrong

'Cause I don't believe I failed you

Are your lies still coming true?

Do you still think the better days are gone?

'Cause after all the things we've been through

Years so hard to lose

Give me a life of half love, half hope, half true

Or a lifetime burning with you

And all those things he'd said he'd got

Seemed so big but don't mean much

Spends his days just praying

"God oh, feeling in this way"

No one saw the broken heart

Or even knew the day it started

No one thought he was good enough

Except for you…

Except for you…

I don't believe I failed you

Are your lies still coming true?

Do you still think the better days are gone?

'Cause after all the things we've been through

Years so hard to lose

Give me a life of half love, half hope, half true

Or a lifetime burning…yea

You're gonna miss those things you're giving away

You need to hold out, you're gonna break down

You need to find your way back to the start

Who cares what they say?

It's still your heart

Your heart…

Something wrong in her world today

The one she loves, she threw away

Still see it on her face, when she's got a smile to fake

And all those things he said he'd got

He cashed them in and it just wasn't enough

To buy back a star to replace the one he loved

And you…

Were wrong

And I…

Was wrong

'Cause I don't believe I failed you

Are your lies still coming true?

Do you still think the better days are gone?

'Cause after all the things we've been through

Years so hard to lose

Give me a life of half love, half hope, half true

'Cause I'll take a life of half love, half hope, half true

Or a lifetime burning…
