  • Pride, it leaves you hollow
    Another attempt
    Just to settle the score
    A war, you know the one you built it up

    It's real defining
    Humiliation, oh, it knocks at your door
    You say I blow up, I say you cave in
    We never found the line between
    The real and pretend
    You know you should accept it
    This is really the end
    I know for sure, it's what I have to do
    Is follow through

    You were everything I ever want to be
    The only thing I ever needed no
    I'd wait for you till time lay down to sleep
    And I'd sneak across the world to let her know

    Yeah that's what I do
    Yeah I follow through
    Oh I follow through

    And here I stand
    I'm too close but still you're far away
    You never tried but I did
    And we still remain divided

    Oh I can't believe that your heart's still beating
    It's beating for me at all
    How sad of you
    But I'm not sad at all

    You say I blow up
    I say you cave in
    We never found the line between
    The real and pretend
    You know you should accept it
    This is really the end
    I know for sure, it's what I have to do
    Is follow through

    And you were everything I ever want to be
    The only one I ever need to know
    I'd wait for you till time lay down to sleep
    And I'd sneak across the world to let her know

    And as it falls down into night we run away
    And once again divided
    But each one knows just what we have to do
    We do, we have to, follow through

    [Repeat: x3]
    I will lay down my heart
    I will let you go
    That's what's best for us all

    ('Cause now we stand beneath the clouds and God above)
    (Like we did before)
    (But this time for her)
    (I'll follow through)

    You were everything I ever want to be
    The only one I ever need to know
    I'd wait for you till time lays down to sleep
    And I'd sneak across the world to let her know

    Hold my heart patiently
    And take my hand, yeah walk with me
    'Cause when the evening comes
    We'll set the world on fire
    And I was wrong
    Let me help you live on

    You were everything I ever want to be
    The only one I ever need to know
    I'd wait for you till time lay down to sleep
    And I'd sneak across the world to let her know
    And as it falls down into night we run away
    And once again divided
    But each one knows just what we have to do
    We do, we have to, follow through

    Hold my heart patiently
    And take my hand, yeah walk with me
    'Cause when the evening comes
    We'll set the world on fire
    And I was wrong
    Let me help you live on Writer/s: JUSTIN FURSTENFELD, TIMOTHY PALMER
