How It's Always Been

Before You Exit

The spark is gone and my past is dead
I still have hope for the road ahead
Time has jumped off the clock on my wall
Since then I haven't received a call from you, from you

You've seen the dark and you've seen the light, the sides of me that I'm trying to fight
I'm bruised, I'm broken, I'm made of glass
I shine for a moment, but I shatter fast

Cause you mean so much to me My heart is locked and you hold the key
And I hope I'll never be, the guy that you can't stand to see

The night rolls in and the pain comes fast I'm in so deep How long will it last?
I stretch for a breath, but I fail again
You reap what you sow, it's how it's always been

Cause you mean so much to me My heart is locked and you hold the key
And I hope I'll never be, the guy that you can't stand to see
Cause you mean so much to me, cause you mean so much to me

Let me tell you how I feel I believe, you and me are very real
Cause you mean so much to me And I hope I'll never be

Cause you mean so much to me

And I hope I'll never be, the guy that you can't stand to see
Cause you mean so much to me, cause you mean so much to me
