Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Nails to the quick
Daddy died and liars lie
A bit more than sick
A dash in bittersweet
What's that make of me?
Save a lost thing
No choice, but a choice to leave
[Chorus]
Can't you make me believe?
Up where the others dare
What chance have I?
What chances we would fight in love's affair?
[Verse 2]
Swear morning's changed
And I will lie where you lie
Say you're with shame
Then drop to your knees
Maybe then you'll feast what's worth sight
You'll dream what I dream at night
As one, not one, nor sum of hazy grace
As a Janus exclaims
Don't you flee
Don't but stray far
You can never leave this stage
It's not just me
It's about you here in heart
For there's your need
[Bridge]
Before one breath would right such harms
You should know that you belong
Wherever you may toll
No, not here
And not far though, but next to me
[Chorus]
Can't you make me believe?
Up where the others dare
What chance have I?
What chances we would fight in love's affair?
[Outro]
Come on, atone, let's run away
Come on, atone, let's run away
