(John Rzeznik)
You said youd light a candle
And youd say a prayer for me.
I feel the light has dimmed and gone.
Half the world is begging
While the other half steals.
Where did everything go wrong?
Some days I cant believe,
Others Im on my knees,
Trying to be heard.
I was your anger,
And you were my fear.
Now that its over
Of course its so clear.
But you were no angel
And I was no sin.
Somehow I cant let it go.
I cant let it go.
And half the world is sleeping
While the other half dreams.
You close your eyes
And then youre gone.
And maybe my intentions
Have been misunderstood.
I know you feel so beautifully wronged.
Some days I cant believe,
Others Im on my knees,
Hoping I belong.
I was your anger,
And you were my fear.
Now that its over
Of course its so clear.
But you were no angel
And I was no sin.
Somehow I cant let it go.
I cant let it go.
And laughter is my souls release,
But were not smiling anymore.
Cant we try to win this peace?
Cause were never gonna win,
Never gonna win this war.
I was your anger,
And you were my fear.
Now that its over
Of course its so clear.
But you were no angel
And I was no sin.
Somehow I cant let it go.
I cant let it go.
