So what did you think I would say?No, you can't run awayNo, you can't run awaySo what did you think I would say?No, you can't run awayNo, you can't run awayYou wouldn't
I never wanted to say thisYou never wanted to stayI put my faith in youSo much faithAnd then you, just threw it awayYou threw it away
I'm not so naiveMy sorry eyes can seeThe way you fight shyOf almost everythingWell, if you give upYou'll get what you deserve
So what did you think I would sayNo, you can't run awayNo, you can't run awaySo what did you think I would sayNo, you can't run awayNo, you can't run awayYou wouldn't
I never wanted to say thisYou never wanted to stayI put my faith in youSo much faithAnd then you, just threw it awayYou threw it away
You were finished long beforeWe had even seen the startWhy don't you stand upBe a man about itFight with your bare handsAbout it, now
I never wanted to say thisYou never wanted to stayWell, did you?I put my faith in youSo much faithAnd then you, just threw it away
I never wanted to say thisYou never wanted to stayI put my faith in youSo much faithAnd then you, just threw it away

Somehow, everything's gonna fall right into place If we only had a way to make it all fall faster everyday If only time flew like a dove We gotta make it fly, faster than I'm falling in love
This time we're not giving up Let's make it last forever Screaming "Hallelujah" We'll make it last forever
Holding onto patience, wearing thinI can't force these eyes to see the end If only time flew like a dove We could watch it fly, and just keep looking up
This time we're not giving up Let's make it last forever Screaming "Hallelujah" We'll make it last forever
And we've got time on our handsAnd we've got, got nothing but time on our handsGot nothing but, got nothing butGot nothing but time on our hands
This time we're not giving up Oh, let's make it last forever Screaming "Hallelujah" "Hallelujah" "Hallelujah"

I'm in the business of misery, let's take it from the topShe's got a body like an hourglass that's ticking like a clockIt's a matter of time before we all run outWhen I thought he was mine, she caught him by the mouth
I waited eight long months, she finally set him freeI told him I couldn't lie, he was the only one for meTwo weeks, and we had caught on fireShe's got it out for me, but I wear the biggest smile

But, God, does it feel so goodCause I got him where I want him nowAnd if you could, then you know you wouldCause, God, it just feels so…It just feels so good
Second chances, they don't ever matter, people never changeOnce a whore, you're nothing more, I'm sorry that'll never changeAnd about forgiveness, we're both supposed to have exchangedI'm sorry, honey, but I'm past that, now look this way
Well, there's a million other girls who do it just like youLooking as innocent as possible to get to whoThey want and what they like, it's easy if you do it rightWell, I refuse, I refuse, I refuse!

What a shame we all became such fragile, broken thingsA memory remains, just a tiny sparkI give it all my oxygenTo let the flames beginSo let the flames begin
Oh, gloryOh, gloryThis is how we'll dance whenWhen they try to take us downThis is what will be, oh glory
Somewhere weakness is our strengthAnd I'll die searching for itI can't let myself regret, such selfishnessMy pain and all the trouble causedNo matter how longI believe that there's hopeBuried beneath it all andHiding beneath it all andGrowing beneath it all and
This is how we'll dance whenWhen they try to take us downThis is how we'll sing itThis is how we'll stand whenWhen they burn our houses downThis is what will be, oh glory
Reaching as I sink down into lightReaching as I sink down into light
This is how we'll dance whenWhen they try to take us downThis is how we'll sing itThis is how we'll stand whenWhen they burn our houses downThis is what will be, oh glory
