Lyrics
I was in darkness, saw you standing in the light
Was hoping you'd be mine, was blinded by your sight
But now I've come to tell you what is on my mind
You have to give me up, I'm leaving you behind
My inner fears are alibis, one alibi
My train of thought is finalized, one final lie
One act of faith, or is it just the facts of man?
A gleam of hope its in your eyes, I understand
When darkness finds its way up through my whiskey glass
To see love slip away that once was in our grasp
Why can't we give up hope, what are we hoping for
I just hope you can take the slamming of the door
My inner fears are alibis, one alibi
My train of thought if finalized, one final lie
One act of faith or is it just the facts of man?
A gleam of hope, it's in your eyes. I understand
I don't want you now. I don't want you now
When hope is all that's left and lovers cannot stay
The healing can't begin when hope is in the way
I just hope you can find a way to make it through
You have to give up Hope when love gives up on you
