This is my renaissance
|
This is my one response
|
This is the way I say I love you
|
This is my second chance
|
This is my one romance
|
This is the cutting line
|
On which I stand to show you
|
|
It happened fast in a flash just this evening
|
I hit the gas, horn blast, brakes screaming
|
Car crash, broken glass, broke my dreaming
|
I hit the dash so fast my ears are ringing
|
My sister's on the right side just slightly leaning
|
I grabbed her hand hard until she started breathing
|
My brothers in the back jaw cracked from the beating
|
The breath in my chest has slipped and I'm sinking
|
Blinking through diamond spider webs of cracked glass
|
I'm trying to remember all the words you said in the past
|
Through the ash, siren screams and red beams
|
I hear you sing softly to me
|
|
[chorus]
|
I can be the wall when you fall down
|
Find me on the rocks when you break down
|
I heard it in the song when you call out
|
But I got to say now it's got to change
|
|
This is my broken heart
|
This is my bleeding start
|
This is the way I've come to know you
|
This is my winding road
|
This is my way back home
|
This is the narrow door you know that I will walk through
|
|
I got a letter today of why she went away
|
She said 'it's better this way, you knew I never could stay'
|
Half empty closets and frames, all that's left to my name
|
As she left in the rain and left my heart on a chain
|
Three years I've built this two face tower for hours on a lease
|
You gave me one yellow flower that said rest in peace
|
IN pieces I've broken open to think too much or just enough
|
Alone to trust midst the rubble and the dust
|
Humbled, it took this much to break down and understand
|
Spent half my life on castles made of sand
|
Tossed in the breakers in the palm of your hand
|
Now I can finally stand
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
This is my renaissance
|
This is my one response
|
This is the way I say I love you
|
