"Forfeit" lyrics
"Forfeit"
I'll meet you in the shadows that come at night
I'll listen to your cries through the door
If you won't let me in, I'll just wait outside
Until you're ready I will just be ignored
I'll find you when you hide in the darkest cave
I'll be there when you emerge
I will shield your eyes from the blinding light
Is there a prayer to lift this curse
Because you're in trouble
You're in deep
When you can't wake up
But you can't sleep
When it starts to slip away
And the world forgets your name
I will not give up
I will not give up on you
Come fire and flood
And let the earth shake, I won't move
No matter what
No matter what you say or do
I will not give up
I will not give up on you
I will wait for you at the forest edge
And feel each season change
I don't care what anybody else says
They can leave, I will stay
I'll save you a seat when the tables set
Hold your place until you return
I will light a candle by your photograph
If and when you say the word
Then I'll come running
Down these streets
As fast as my feet will take me
When the crowds all go away
And the world forgets your name
I will not give up
I will not give up on you
Come fire and flood
And let the earth shake, I won't move
No matter what
No matter what you say or do
I will hide the pain that I push through
Put a brave face on for you
Choke back tears all meant for you
I will not give up
I will not give up on you
Come fire and flood
And let the earth shake, I won't move
No matter what
No matter what you say or do
I will not give up
I will not give up on you

Thousand Foot Krutch - "Untraveled Road" Hold on for a second
If words can be weapons
Then what I say can affect it
They're not just words on a record
And I can choose to respect it
Or choose to infect it
But once that hits the water
It's...
Beartooth - "Hated" Who knew you’d be hated for being who you are
And be a big target for all the insecure
All alone in a wall-less prison
Didn’t forget and you’re not forgiven
Live every day with the pain in the back...
Stone Sour - "Song #3" If you take a step towards me
You will take my breath away
So I'll keep you close and keep my secret safe
No one else has ever loved me
No one else has ever tried
I never understood how much I could...
Story Of The Year - "Miracle" Please don't let me go
Last night I had that dream again
I tried to run back to you
But the devil held me by my sins
Till I had nothing to lose
And I woke up calling out your name
But the past it...
Blink-182 - "I Really Wish I Hated You" I don't really like myself without you
Every song I sing is still about you
Save me from myself the way you used to
'Cause I don't really like myself without you
I really wish I hated you A little...
