I'd wander the darkest path
If it meant you'd be saved
It's hard to feel whole when you're soul's torn in two
One half in the grave
I've built up my walls so high
I'm not coming down
I've been searching for closure but I'm not sure that
It wants to be found
Each day I get older and older
And I've lived through a war I'm still soldiering on
This life isn't all that I thought
I'll find a new place to belong
Each way I turn
I'm met with a phantom
Living in chains
My past holds me for ransom
And I've grown accustomed to the hurt that entails
When my mind starts to wander and the nightmares prevail
And I get caught in the web of every detail
How it should have been me instead
Each day I get older and older
And I've lived through a war I'm still soldiering on
I might not be sure what I want
I'll find a new place to belong
I'm running to the edge
I'll learn to make amends
Oh, the thought of you still burns
I'll only dream of my return
Each day I get older and older
And I've lived through a war I'm still soldiering on
This life isn't all that I thought
But one day I'll start moving on
