"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
