Hold tight my love
The sun will never last
But there is something that's forever
In your merciful smile
You know I kept a candle burning
Though you never were deserving
Of my desperate lines
But no one's playing by the rules no more
The game has been rigged from the start
Armed with a foreign heart
And cut with a crooked smile
With Jesus as my witness
I'll let you down
And ask for your forgiveness
To give me back the solitude I found in you
Stand by my side
I'll never let them take you from me
Even when I'm dead or paralysed
Our hands are tied
We may be on the back foot
But it's not over there's another war to fight
And I'm resolved
To go and see the doctor
Because these pills just make it harder
For me to swallow my pride
I've been trying to get some answers
But they just keep telling me
To carry on regardless
Because we're all a captive market
Interconnected ghosts in the machine
The walls are closing in now
The party's shutting down
And I'm leaving with the bleeding heart of a clown
But this is what I wanted
Yeah this is what I waited for, and here you are
Stand by my side
I know you don't believe me
But I swear I never meant to tell the truth
Our hands are tied
But we are the last ones standing
And they're not taking prisoners anymore
