"Monument" lyrics

I spent too many years, playing the fool
Until I had to pick a side
I was done before I met you, already done, already done
I would risk it all, on chasin' highs, not ever really knowin' why
I was numb before I met you, already numb, already numb

And I know it feels like I've been gone, so much time
Lost in years
But I built it back up on my own, as a sign
To lead you here

I'll carve your name in every tree
So you can trace it back to me
Paint all the darkness baby blue
And build a monument for you
I'll leave my mark on every stone
To guide the way that brings you home
Paint all the darkness baby blue
And build a monument for you

(And build a monument for you)
(And build a monument for you)
(And build a monument for you)

Life, what is it for, how much can you afford to lose
I didn't get it til I met you, but now I do, but now I do

And I know it feels like I've been gone so much time
Lost in years
But I built it back up on my own, as a sign
To lead you here

I'll carve your name in every tree
So you can trace it back to me
Paint all the darkness baby blue
And build a monument for you
I'll leave my mark on every stone
To guide the way that brings you home
Paint all the darkness baby blue
And build a monument for you

And build a monument for you
And build a monument for you
And build a monument for you
