Lyrics:
Let’s start off the tale with reluctant confession
I didn’t know love till it taught me a lesson
I hid from the dark that was too dark to mention
I’ll just say that the demons were dancing

Now I got scars on my mind that I’m careful to cover
It’s proof of a life and the proof of a lover
The calluses tell me there won’t be another
I just pray the pain ain’t everlasting
Take away the pain

I’m the ghost of black water
I’ll atone for my sins every soul I guide home
It’s the best I can offer
Now I envy the courage that she had to leave me behind
She holds the light, she holds the light

Like salt on a wound, I’m just bound to my tower
Watching the waves over years over hours
The white horses, they knock at the door of this coward
While I’m too scared to go down and answer
I watch from the pier as the storm passes over
The tears come and go, she don’t get any closer
The weight of the words I was too scared to tell her
Now it’s more than regret it’s a monster
Oh it’s more than regret

I’m the ghost of black water
I’ll atone for my sins every soul I guide home
It’s the best I can offer
Now I envy the courage that she had to leave me
I’m so tired of this dreaming
I can’t help but to curse every soul with a home
Now I’m left with my demons
And I’ll envy the shadows that cling to her all through the night
She holds the light, she holds the light
She holds the light, she holds the light
She holds the light, she holds the light
She holds the light, she holds the light

I’m the ghost of black water
I’ll atone for my sins every soul I guide home
It’s the best I can offer
Now I envy the courage that she had to leave me
I’m so tired of this dreaming
I can’t help but to curse every soul with a home
Now I’m left with my demons
And I’ll envy the shadows and the memories
That linger and cling to her all through the night
She holds the light, she holds the light

Lyrics:
I’m always gonna need you not to fall
You’re the one I’m always seeing in the door
You know I never felt that way before
It was always
So someone was the one that you would call
Someone was the one who left you tall
You’re probably not in need of this at all
It was hard today
I’m always gonna need you not to fall
You’re the one I’m always seeing in the door
You know I never felt that way before
It was always
So someone was the one that you would call
Someone was the one who left you tall
You’re probably not in need of this at all
It was hard today

So I guess hiding won’t prepare you for the worst
We’re designed to turn our blessings to a curse
Is a life only a lesson if it hurts?
This is all to say
It helps to know we’re only passing through
The light will always find you in the room
It’s something that you never know you do
And it’s haunting me
So I guess hiding won’t prepare you for the worst
We’re designed to turn our blessings to a curse
Is a life only a lesson if it hurts?
This is all to say
It helps to know we’re only passing through
The light will always find you in the room
It’s something that you never know you do
Baby it’s been haunting me

And I know that I should tell you everything
What I’m holding in, what I’m holding in
And I know that I should tell you everything
What I’m holding in, what I’m holding in
It’s been haunting me

Maybe it’s all in the pages, maybe it’s all underneath
Maybe it’s better to keep it
There’s nothing in love but defeat
Been in this winter for ages, feels like I’ve never been free
Maybe I’m just gonna say it, tell you I love you at least
So I don’t know what the way is
Don’t know what you need me to be
Who are you running away with?
Who are you wishing was me?
Think of the summers we stayed in
Whatever you’re seeing in me
Kept all the love in the phrases
Things I could never repeat
Wish I could show you what safe is
Wish I could tell you to breathe
Wish all the devils were nameless
Wish I could tell them to leave
So I just hope it remains this,
Cause everything I’ve ever been
Belonged to you second you claimed it

And I know that I should tell you everything
What I’m holding in, what I’m holding in
And I know that I should tell you everything
What I’m holding in, what I’m holding in

I’ll tell you everything about it
How you could never set me free
From all the dreams that stop me sleeping
I think it starts and end with me
Just know I’d fall apart without you
My only anchor on the sea
And still the light falls in around you
It’s been a love I can’t believe

Lyrics:
I wanna leave, I wanna run for something truer than I’ve known
I’ve got a delicate ambition in a town that I’ve outgrown
And I hold it close, I’m gonna need it now
I’ve had some momentary bliss although it didn’t stick around
Cause where I’m from
We keep our dreams inside or buried in the ground
They’re lying dead and cold
Cause no one knew their worth
Stories that go untold without a final verse

Tell me where we go from here
We know it’s gonna end in tears
So while I’m living, darling you can have it all
I promise you I’d bleed for your love
I don’t wanna look back now
It’s only gonna weigh me down
So while I’m living darling you can have it all
It’s everything that you deserve
Oh I promise you I’d bleed for your love

I got a cellar full of melodies that no one’s ever heard
I write these sonnets on my ceiling and I can’t recall a word
Hell I’m packing up the car, while the fire still burns
I can’t take one more day
Hiding from a dream for the fear that it won’t work

Tell me where we go from here
We know it’s gonna end in tears
So while I’m living darling you can have it all
Oh I promise you I’d bleed for your love
I don’t wanna look back now
It’s only gonna weigh me down
So while I’m living darling you can have it all
It’s everything that you deserve
Oh I promise you I’d bleed for your love

Tell me where we go from here
We know it’s gonna end in tears
So while I’m living darling you can have it all
I promise you I’d bleed for your love
I don’t wanna look back now
It’s only gonna weigh me down
So while I’m living darling you can have it all
It’s everything that you deserve
I promise you I’d bleed for your love
I promise you I’d bleed for your love
