Lyrics
Forfeit
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'll meet you in the shadows that come at night
I'll listen to your cries through the door
If you won't let me in, I'll just wait outside
Until you're ready I will just be ignored
I'll find you when you hide in the darkest cave
I'll be there when you emerge
I will shield your eyes from the blinding light
Is there a prayer to lift this curse
Because you're in trouble
You're in deep
When you can't wake up
But you can't sleep
When it starts to slip away
And the world forgets your name
I will not give up
I will not give up on you
Come fire and flood
Let the earth shakes, I won't move
No matter what
No matter what you say or do
I will not give up
I will not give up on you
I will wait for you at the forest edge
And feel each season change
I don't care what anybody else says
They can leave but I will stay
I'll save you a seat when the tables set
Hold your place until you return
I will light a candle by your photograph
If and when you say the word then
I'll come running
Down these streets
As fast as my feet will take me
When the crowds all go away
And the world forgets your name
I will not give up
I will not give up on you
Come fire and flood
Let the earth shakes, I won't move
No matter what
No matter what you say or do
I will hide the pain that I push through
Put a brave face on for you
Choke back tears all meant for you
I will not give up
I will not give up on you
Come fire and floor
Let the earth shakes, I won't move
No matter what
No matter what you say or do
I will not give up
I will not give up on you
