Alliance

How long is it you’ve been telling yourself

It’s better to settle than take the chance you could fail

And how far can you throw away what I know

Must kill you the feeling that there could have been hope

So don’t you waste a single breath on me

Cause fear is not my enemy

You’ll only build the light that burns in me

No matter how you try

You’ll never justify your life

Burning out the light that keeps you alive

So you’ve played it safe

At the expense of the risk you were too scared to take

What good is your money

When your dream is foregone, but you’re hardly awake

It’s such a shame, such a shame that you’d choose such a fate

But to the rest of us, it’s an example of how one can fade away

So don’t you waste a single breath on me

Cause fear is not my enemy

You’ll only build the light that burns in me

No matter how you try

You’ll never justify your life

Burning out the light that keeps you alive

How I’ve tried

To leave behind the fear that eats me alive

But I’ve realized

That fear’s exactly why I have to try

So don’t you waste a single breath on me

Cause fear is not my enemy

You’ll only build the light that burns in me

No matter how you try

You’ll never justify your life

Burning out the light that keeps you alive
