We often asked my honest friend

If we'd hold on tight till the end

Your knowing smile just breaks me down

And leaves fighting words in my mouth

I will light you up, I will light you up

For you and I, love was a fire escape
For you and I, lived on broken faith
For you and I , today is not the ending

Today is not the ending you would like

Without these lights to lead us home

We're just drifting blind out here alone

What we forgive, what we forget

I'll be a martyr in your background
whispering words of faithfulness
I will light you up...

For you and I, love was a fire escape
For you and I, lived on broken faith
For you and I, stood tall until the ending
Today is not the ending you would like

Now the silence chokes, talk to me my friend

Am I not a victim, tell me why I should pretend

When the silence breaks, faces in the room

People gaping wide-eyed, at the space from me to you
People gaping wide eyed, at the space from me to you
For you and I, love was a fire escape
For you and I, lived on broken faith
For you and I, stood tall until the ending
Today is not the ending you would like...
