lyrics

You know it takes me by surprise
Cause when I close my eyes it's you I see right by my side
Till the end

But still I sit and bide my time
And I make my bed of lies while you wait patiently beside
It's alright you said

So you said that you don't mind
That the promises I'd left to be broken still remain alive
Inside your head

You're headed toward the light
And I will make damn sure that you never get there
If it's the last thing I do before I die

I don't deserve you
No you deserve better than me

And when the storm brews high and proud
When the earth collides and oceans rise
You hold that candle high for me to find

For some reason you hang on tight
And you justify and reason why
I let you down time and time again

In a place among the pines I find that I'm looking for air
And when it finally comes to pass I find that you, you're not here
Though I was never there for you my love you saw it through
Now that you've gone I see so clearly I was the one who needed you

Oh you know that I needed you

I don't deserve you
No you deserve better than me
I don't deserve you
No you deserve better than me
