One Less Reason: A Lifetime Burning

There's something wrong in her world today
She screams it loud but just won't say it
It never was her strongest point to hurry up or wait.
Now it's all been said and done
A preacher's daughter a devil's son
Her favorite color a day alone
No smile on her face

And you were wrong.
And you were wrong...

Because I don't believe I failed you
Are your lies still coming true?
Do you still think that better days are gone?
'Cause after all the things we've been through
Years so hard to lose
Give me a life of half love, half hope, half truth
Or a lifetime burning with you

And all those things he said he'd got
Seemed so big but don't mean much
He spends his days just praying to God
Or feeling in his way.
But no one saw the broken heart
Or even knew the day it started
No one thought he was good enough
Except for you...
Except for you...

I don't believe I failed you
Are your lies still coming true?
Do you still think that better days are gone?
'Cause after all the things we've been through
Years so hard to lose
Give me a life of half love, half hope, half truth
Or a lifetime burning

Your gonna miss those things you're giving away
You need to hold out or you're gonna break down.
You need to find your way back to the start
Who cares what they say it's still your heart.
Your heart.

There's something wrong in her world today
The one she loved she threw away
Still see it on her face when she's got a smile to fake

And all those things he said he'd got
He cashed them in it just wasn't enough
To buy back or start to replace the one he loved

And you were wrong... and I was wrong.

Because I don't believe I failed you
Are your lies still coming true?
Do you still think that better days are gone?
'Cause after all the things we've been through
Years so hard to lose
Give me a life of half love, half hope, half truth
'Cause I'll take a life of half love, half hope, half truth
Or a lifetime burning.
