    I can’t believe that you would think
    I’d never see that you deserve the best (deserve the best)
    If you’re afraid, then I’m to blame
    I should’ve never let it come to this (come to this)

    Sometimes we just have to walk through the fire (the fire)
    Just to see once more what has never shined brighter (shined brighter)

    Don’t say enough, we’re not out of love
    We just grew up having to find out that
    Hearts go astray, sparks slip away
    But I have to say, I still light up for you
    For you, I still light up for you

    Don’t let the tears undo the years
    That got us here we traveled all this way (all this way)
    And no matter how we sort it out
    Know I’m for sure that you’re the one for me (the one for me)

    Sometimes we just have to walk on the wire (the wire)
    Just to understand we have never felt higher (felt higher)

    Don’t say enough, we’re not out of love
    We just grew up having to find out that
    Hearts go astray, sparks slip away
    But I have to say, I still light up for you
    For you, I still light up for you

    Nobody said it would be easy
    We thought we could prove them wrong
    And we know it takes more than a feeling
    To carry the two of us on
    But I still believe in our love
    Yeah I still believe in us
    I still believe in us
    I still light up

    Don’t say enough, we’re not out of love
    We just grew up having to find out that
    Hearts go astray, sparks slip away
    But I have to say, I still light up for you
    For you, I still light up for you

    Heavy footsteps in my boots
    Will I be the one you choose
    I keep chasing hope away
    too proud to try and make a change

    If I had the chance
    I’d take the words right back
    & turn it all around
    Never let you down
    I don’t want us to break
    into a beautiful mistake

    All the confidence I lacked
    You gave back in just two weeks
    I don’t wanna be your ghost anymore
    always dragging up the past

    Waiting for the moment
    When we can make things right
    Waiting for the moment
    Forgiveness in your eyes

    Everyone has their obsession
    Consuming thoughts, consuming time
    They hold high their prized possession
    That defines the meaning of their lives

    You are mine

    There are objects of affection
    That can mesmerize the soul
    There is always one addiction
    That just can not be controlled

    You are mine

    Everyone has their obsession
    Consuming thoughts, consuming time
    They hold high their prized possession
    They hold high their prized possession

    You are mine

    Play another wedding song
    A wedding song goes on and on
    See the churches falling down
    This is only in your mind
    We’re useless
    We’re useless

    All their dresses stand so white
    All the brides are all in white
    Play another wedding song
    A wedding song goes on and on
    We’re useless
    We’re useless
    Walking on the paper ruins
    Shoes and rice and one two three
    Picking through the plastic ruins
    Of my useless memory

    Make a line of useless women
    Make a line of useless men
    Love me love me love me love
    Again again again again
    We’re useless
    We’re useless
    Completely
