year after year

i lost my light but found it there in the front row

losin sight but found i just had my eyes closed

laughed with the devil

shook his hand with a smile

i said you just ain't for me

went on a mission

i could never have trained for

but fell in love

and its worth going insane for

fed on the praise and drank it up like a tall boy

but i'm just fakin

watched the water flood into my bed

afloat on sinking ships inside my head

but ya still say your love runs deep until the end

year after year and

i've seen every motel here

felt alone with you

believing

this was all about me

year after year

before the stories disappear

took a while but now i realise i did it for you

how many bridges do we burn to the ground while

we try to reach the highest peak of the mountain?

but do you ever stop and stare at the clouds

or pause to smell the roses

how long will you keep on fighting for your breath?

and findin comfort in these broken walls instead

we used to say our love runs deep until the end

year after year and

i've seen every motel here

felt alone with you

believing

this was all about me

year after year

before the stories disappear

took a while but now i realise i did it for you
