In this fading image
we'll carve our destiny
sometimes life is a cruel friend
sometimes that's what we need

I'll hold my eyes when the light comes in
I'll sell my silence for a song
now I won't die if you walk away
but I may not live

Now I watch as the rain comes down
to purify this pain
when mountains crumble and stars collide
I am what remains

There are lessons that sadness
can only teach
there are things that we must learn
now I won't die if you walk away
but I may not live
