We built our dreams in melted glass
With a promise we would last
It made no difference, right or wrong
To the world we would shine on
What we wanted for so long
But it wasn't what we thought
Shot to hell, we carried on
With our heads held high and
It all would run in our own time
Tore my heart out, made yours mine
This world was yours and mine alone
But what we felt, we couldn't own
The fall was long, the battle fought
Fists held high and
You stood high and I stood tall
And we turned to face it
And we take it away
Leave it all behind
We take it away
We're finding our own light
We take it away
And there is where we'll find
A safer place to lie
Our heads were clouded up in space
Ran out of time in our own race
With just a thread, I would hold on
And pull myself where we belong
Suddenly, it was so clear
In the shattered fragments
I kept the flowers as they died
As their beauty faded
So we take it away
Leave it all behind
We take it away
We're finding our own light
We take it away
And there is where we'll find
A safer place to lie
A safer place for us to lie
