Lyrics
You said that it was time to stand up and be counted
You said it was time to shoot your arrow straight
You said that I was everything you'd ever wanted
but you said it too late
You made me feel like I was the one who was on fire
You made me feel like I was the one who would run
You made me feel like I was the one who was the liar
Now look what we've done
we've blocked out the sun
(chorus)
I thought I recognized your eyes
For a minute there, I thought we'd traveled back in time
but in spite of all that's gone by
the weight of the world's still on your head
the weight of the words are on my mind
We ran as though the Devil was chasing after
You said that you believed our time would come
You said slow down, but I only ran faster
Now we've blocked out the sun
look at what we've become
(chorus)
(bridge)
I held you tight, but you slipped on by
now we divide your life and mine
Run with this, it's our final kiss
say you'll miss not only this
not only this
(chorus)
