lyrics

Keep my head down til I wise up
Seemed so false and then so true
And wild, wild horses, I don't get that
I've been dragged and torn in two
Then the breakdown, is that the last step
to rebuild me back to right?

When I lie down I hear the voices
and I swear, I swear they're true
Just to wake up to the noise of
trumpets blaring for the fight
And wild, wild horses kept me from it
and you were dragged into the night

Lift my head, now I'm face to face with this
Or hurt instead, looking for a way to pay for it
The light's ahead, now I've got to make a way for it
I've got a lot to lose that I don't want to lose

Walk in the middle, can you really take the blame for it?
Fall in the battle, looking for a way to pay for it
Love is ahead and now you've got to make a way for it
You've got a lot to lose than you don't want to lose

I've got a lot to learn that I don't want to learn
I've got a lot to lose that I don't want to lose
