Tell me who'd you gonna run to now
What if this is it 'til we turn around
There's a ladder to the stars just up ahead
Don't you wanna take my hand, take my heart instead
Crying I just wanna feel alive
Help me reach the heavens from this hell inside
Do you wrestle with the cross that you bear
No Jesus around your neck gonna save you here
Well, I suppose that I'm just a shot in the dark
Have you ever wondered why you miss the mark
You say love it never dies, it just falls apart
And how do you love me when you fall apart
Go and start a revolution with this heavy heart
Seems you've tattooed every tear that's down your face
Have you had it up to here, you just can't wait
Now baby I don't know why I feel so reckless
Show me what you're hiding from
Am I man enough to walk away from this
I keep searching for some truth, but it don't exist
Well, I suppose that I'm just a shot in the dark
Have you ever wondered why we miss the mark
You say love it never dies, it just falls apart
And I suppose, in time, the shadows that burning up the demons in your soul
'Cause you seem ready to the fear of letting go
You knew it was hard right from the start
Tell me who'd you gonna run to now
Who'd you gonna run to now
Well I suppose that life's just a shot in the dark
From the moment we arrive we just playing a part
And that longing never dies, it's there from the start
You don't know the reason why but it tears you apart
If loving is denied, it will shatter your heart
If loving is denied, it will shatter your heart
Every piece that you can find, it still comes apart
Well I suppose that I must drown all the demons that were running through your soul
But you lived quiet, you'll never let me go
Are you still trying? I will never let you go
Well I… just a shot in the dark
Well I… just a shot in the dark
Just a shot in the dark
