The Water's Edge Lyrics - Singles - The Glass Child

Fallen by the water's edge 

can't get up off my knees 

The rose of truth 

the thorns it grew 

our love far out at sea 

Throw me all your secrets 

and then turn them all on me 

This rain falls like a symphony 

the storm we grew to be 

I'm taking back my rights 

I don't need your love to fly 

I'll justify tonight 

My heart beats like a tragedy 

You left the pieces of me on the ground 

then you turned around 

I couldn't make a sound 

The dust of what's left of you and I 

echoes in my mind 

tonight 

You will hear me walking dead at night 

turning out the lights 

Can we make things right? 

I'll be anything you want 

I'll learn to love you secretly 

Show me where forever died 

take me back to that night 

Oh please just stay, I'll change my ways 

I'll swear to make things right 

I think I built a home in you 

A place for me to stay 

I held too tight, I sacrificed 

to always take the blame 

I'm taking back my rights 

I don't need your love to fly 

I'll justify tonight 

My heart beats like a tragedy 

You left the pieces of me on the ground 

then you turned around 

I couldn't make a sound 

The dust of what's left of you and I 

echoes in my mind 

tonight 

You will hear me walking dead at night 

turning out the lights 

Can we make things right? 

I'll be anything you want 

I'll learn to love you secretly 

They say that time will heal, but I can't seem to find the cure 

You ask if I'm okay but I'm not welcome anymore 

We perished each alone just like the night turns into dawn 

and now I kneel in the night 

You left the pieces of me on the ground, 

Turn around. Make no sound. 

You and I, in my mind, every night. 

You won't return, 

Die or learn 

Kill the hurt 

In my mind, every night, lost the fight 

Now I will love you secretly.
