Alliance

How long is it you’ve been telling yourself
It’s better to settle than take the chance you could fail
And how far can you throw away what I know
Must kill you the feeling that there could have been hope
So don’t you waste a single breath on me
Cause fear is not my enemy
You’ll only build the light that burns in me
No matter how you try
You’ll never justify your life
Burning out the light that keeps you alive
So you’ve played it safe
At the expense of the risk you were too scared to take
What good is your money
When your dream is foregone, but you’re hardly awake
It’s such a shame, such a shame that you’d choose such a fate
But to the rest of us, it’s an example of how one can fade away
So don’t you waste a single breath on me
Cause fear is not my enemy
You’ll only build the light that burns in me
No matter how you try
You’ll never justify your life
Burning out the light that keeps you alive
How I’ve tried
To leave behind the fear that eats me alive
But I’ve realized
That fear’s exactly why I have to try
So don’t you waste a single breath on me
Cause fear is not my enemy
You’ll only build the light that burns in me
No matter how you try
You’ll never justify your life
Burning out the light that keeps you alive
