Raise Me

RAISE ME
I know what it's like to see his face
cold dark nights & bitter taste
Thought this time he'd push me past the edge
felt that body pressed against my chest
cold air breathing down my neck
giving in to consequences 
til you came to raise me from the dead
til you came to raise me from the dead
I Followed that familiar creature
to Wallow in the waste of my regret
But Time is such a cruel teacher
Wish all i knew now i knew it then
Waking to a dark surrender
Well without the strength to lift my head
For dreaming that i can't remember
And you said
No i won't let go no i don't mind
& i'll be here waiting til you remember hope
I won't let go we'll give it time
& i'll be here waiting til you find your way home
 i won't let go no i don't mind
& i'll be here waiting til you find your way home
I can feel you gaze upon me
But I don't have the strength to lift my head
Wish i could raise my eyes to meet yours
But i don't have the strength to lift my head
I can feel you warm as witness
But I don't have the strength to lift my head
you say i'm worth my weight in weakness
You Love as if to raise me from the dead
