lyrics

Well the rain that falls cuts through my skin,
the last few months have worn thin.
So I'll just roll up my sleeves, let it tear through me
so a new life can begin.

Cause at times we all fall
If you don't you're not living at all.
There'll be nights when it way seem,
That you're living in a dream,
Well you best hold close to those dreams

And as seasons change it seems sort of strange
Not having you near.
But in life some things just fade away
Even those you held dear,

So I'm set out by the fire,
Stoke the embers, strike the wires
Wait for winter to come again
And though all that's around me has changed,
I'll still be sitting here just the same.

While the rain that falls cuts through your skin,
You say you don't belong in.
Well just turn back around, face into the wind,
And let your new life begin.

Cause at times, we all fall.
If you don't you're not living at all.
But we should never have to hear
About a friend who gave into fear.
Not one you once knew or still hold dear.
I thought it just too pain to say,
But I'll say you can never die on me.
