Outside

Someone left the door open

Who left me outside?

I'm bent, I'm not broken

Come live in my life

All the words left unspoken

Are the pages I write

On my knees and I'm hopin'

That someone holds me tonight

Hold me tonight

Welcome to the world and all the land in it was wasted

The blood upon your hands and the wickedness that made it

Sing or scream it all and the memories keep fadin'

See the exit wound, dear God, what have we taken?

Guess I'll say a prayer and I'll kiss into the air

I'll look into the sky, send 'em straight to nowhere

We all dug the grave, can't shake away the shame

Can't quiver in the sky, but you're shaken all the same

You left us with the guns and all of 'em unloaded

Teach us how to shoot, but you taught us how to hold 'em

And all the weight of all the world is right between your shoulders

'Cause heavy is the heart when the world keeps growing colder

Who left the door open?

Who left me outside?

I'm on my knees and I'm hopin'

That someone holds me tonight

Hold me tonight

Two sides to every story, here's a little mornin' glory

Breakfast off a mirror, dying slow seems a little boring

Burning like a flag, walking straight into the breeze

'Cause there's two types of people

You are weak or you are me, yeah

What's another lifetime like mine?

We all die a little sometimes, it's alright

Did you come to say your goodbyes to this life?

We all hurt a little sometimes, we're alright

So, mothers, hold your children, don't you ever let 'em go

There is  weakness in your grip and they are holding all the hopes

Don't you ever let me go (Don't you ever let me go)

Don't you ever let me go (Don't you ever let me go)

Who left the door open?

Who left me outside?

I'm on my knees and I'm hopin'

That someone holds me tonight

Hold me tonight

Someone left the door open

Who left me outside?

I'm bent, I'm not broken

Come live in my life

All the words left unspoken

Are the pages I write

On my knees and I'm hopin'

That someone holds me tonight

Hold me tonight
