In those discouraging days
I always missed the mark
When we were comfort and close

I would neglect to keep

Ooh, you safe and unexposed

A portrait of time repeats
This moment now replaced
With an empty wish to give

I give, I gave

I gave my everything

For all the wrong things
In this cold reality, I made
This selfish war machine


Oh, this has become hell
How can I share this life

With someone else?
I promise you


There is no weight that can bury us
Beneath the ghosts of all my guilt
Here in the dark side of me

Here in the dark side of me

Now in your absence I wade

Through the coursing, lonely, lost
And in this tragic dismay
I never could believe what I became


I gave my everything
For all the wrong things

In this cold reality, I made
This selfish war machine


Oh, this has become hell
How can I share this life
With someone else?

I promise you

There is no weight that can bury us

Beneath the ghosts of all my guilt
Here in the dark side of me
Here in the dark side of me


Ooh, I couldn't give you
What you needed

It's all my fault
Too coward to believe I lost it all


I gave my everything
For all the wrong things
In this cold reality, I made

This selfish war machine

Oh, this has become hell

How can I share this life
With someone else?
I promise you


There is no weight that can bury us
Beneath the ghosts of all my guilt

Here in the dark side of me
Here in the dark side of me
