Lift Us Up

Lyrics

So many times he crossed the line Overboard Overdrawn Overlooked It's over now She looks at herself no one to turn to Then she wonders how it got this far Led to pain and plight She renders false pretense to make him fight harder Lift him up to watch him crawl So simple when we're young Laughing as it all unfolds Self-righteous grudge is sold Retrospect never shined so bright Different goals Different lives Never saw eye to eye Inflated stories Rumor mills run their course back to the source Words in circles Or lies He tries to make her feel so used Plans her pain all in vain so he can close the door Lift her up to watch her fall Her broken heart grows numb Laughing as it all unfolds Self-righteous grudge is sold All that you breed will become your disease And will only hurt ourselves It's the love that you make Not the love that you take And that keeps us alive And you give and you take and you learn from mistakes And we all will survive And the sky may grow dark And the sun will then set But tomorrow is another start People try to hold you down Success eats them alive If you falter you will soon find quick responses from behind But if you prevail They'll turn inside out Act as if they never even had a doubt Lift us up to watch us fall Naive that we've caught on Jealous right from the start We've only just begun
