lyrics

I won't stand by and let you throw it all away
You're so much more than this
The minor in time but the leader in heart
Won't bow down to selfishness

It's hard not to be blinded by the headlights coming on
But the deer in the headlights sees something terribly wrong

Falling in and out of strength is enough to believe
Everything I feel inside
Always losing after gain, tripping over my own feet
Chasing after all these lies leaves me empty

Why do I set my sights so high
When all I ever do is come up short
I've got a vice grip on my passion and I can't break it off
I'm on the low ground

Falling in and out of strength is enough to believe
Everything I feel inside
Always losing after gain, tripping over my own feet
Chasing after all these lies leaves me empty

Now it's all useless
Now it's all useless
What's lost is never found
And I've lost the high ground
