Until I Collapse

[Verse 1]
It's been a few years, since I packed my bags, left all I knew
Face fear, to define a life that's built on breaking through
How much longer will it take, no I can't wait forever
A picture painted in my mind, it seems my days are numbered

[Chorus]
Maybe I'm the one that's scared of all that we could make
Maybe you're the one who left me on a lapse of faith
But even when it seems the weight is far too much to take
I won't collapse for anything

[Verse 2]
You call, there's a quiver in your voice that I read
"Give up, don't you think it's time you came back home to me
You've been chasing a dream, but dreams don't last forever
Though it means more than anything, at least we'll have each other."

[Chorus]
Maybe I'm the one that's scared of all that we could make
Maybe you're the one who left me on a lapse of faith
But even when it seems the weight is far too much to take
I won't collapse for anything

[Bridge]
Heart beat slow, guide me where to go
It's taken long enough to get here, would I be better off
Cold but not alone, here without a home
Tell me why I can't quit shaking, while I'm bleeding at the stake
And I don't know anymore, what I'm really fighting for
This is bigger than the both of us
You're the only one I trust anymore

[Chorus]
Maybe I'm the one that's scared of all that we could make
Maybe you're the one who left me on a lapse of faith
But even when it seems the weight is far too much to take
I won't collapse for anything

[Outro]
And what kills me, is how could you forget me?
I stayed right where you left me
But open wounds can't heal when you're still tearing them apart
And what fills me, is hope to find what's missing
And I refuse to quit til I've rebuilt another heart
