And if you take my heart
|
don't leave the smallest part
|
i've no need to live if you're to come up gone
|
|
and as my life turns to a song
|
and if and when I treat you wrong
|
no I never want to hurt our family
|
|
and I would give up everything
|
no this is not just about me
|
and I don't know a plainer way to say it babe
|
|
and they may pay us off in fame
|
but that is not why we came
|
and I know well and good that won't heal our hearts
|
|
we came for salvation
|
we came for family
|
we came for all thats good thats how we'll walk away...
|
we came to break the bad
|
we came to cheer the sad
|
we came to leave behind the world a better way...
|
|
now if i walk out through the rain
|
and i hear you call my name
|
i will break into a run without a pause
|
|
and if your love laughs at your dreams
|
well its not as bad as it seems
|
either way one of them has got to go
|
|
and if you take of my soul
|
you can still leave it whole
|
with the pieces of your own you leave behind
|
|
we came for salvation
|
we came for family
|
we came for all that's good that's how we'll walk away...
|
we came to break the bad
|
we came to cheer the sad
|
we came to leave behind the world a better way...
|
|
and I would give up everything
|
and if you were to come up clean
|
to see you shine so bright in a world of woe
|
|
and they may pay us off in fame
|
but that is not why we came
|
and if it compromises truth then we will go
|
|
we came for salvation
|
we came for family
|
we came for all that's good that's how we'll walk away...
|
we came to break the bad
|
we came to cheer the sad
|
we came to leave behind the world a better way...
