  • I came here without a choice
    I'm sorry I could never thank you
    For saving me more trouble
    I didn't want any trouble
    If you were given one more chance
    Would you bring me back to life?
    Bring me back into the light
    Into the light

    And let it shine on, let it shine on us

    And if I say I love you, well, then I love you
    And if I say I love you, well, then I love you

    The innocence in your face bled out without a trace
    You've won without an enemy, you're ill without a remedy
    As night bleeds into night, and I know I came off better than you
    It doesn't mean that I feel better
    It doesn't mean that I feel better

    And let it shine on, let it shine on us

    And if I say I love you, well, then I love you
    And if I say I love you, well, then I love you
    And if I say I love you, well, then I love you
    And if I say I love you, well, then I love you

    Show me your hands
    Are they cleaner than mine?
    Show me your face
    Did you cross the line?
    Show me your eyes
    They any drier than mine?
    Your soul survives
    But peace, you'll never find

    And if I say I love you, well, then I love you
    And if I say I love you, well, then I love you
    And if I say I love you, well, then I love you
    And if I say I love you, well, then I love you Writer/s: Benjamin Walter David Lovett, Edward James Milton Dwane, Marcus Oliver Johnstone Mumford, Winston Aubrey Marshall
