"The Bloody Light" lyrics

"The Bloody Light"

Hello my love, I must go
I must go away
I wish I could tell you
That everything will be okay
I'm running on empty
I've got nowhere left I can stay
That bloody light shines in the distance
I can't look away

I wasn't born to lose
But sometimes it just goes that way

I get back on the backbeat
Keep diggin' my grave

When I swore I would change
It was ten years ago to this day
Now all I can promise is
I cannot promise a thing
Your tears were in vain on the day
I was driving away
'Cause that bloody light shine in the distance
Pulled me away

I wasn't born to lose
But sometimes it just goes that way
If I had to choose
I wouldn't know what to do anyway

I get back on the backbeat
Keep digging my grave

I wasn't born to lose
But sometimes it just goes that way
There's no excuse
I get lost in the same old mistakes

I get back on the backbeat
Keep digging my grave

Hello, my love, I've got nothing
And nothing to say
When I come back down into your world
It just brings me pain
I wish I could say I was sorry
I wish I could say I was brave
But that bloody light shines in the distance
And I'm gone again

Bring me to fire, bring me to heat
Feed them coals under my broken feet
Bring me to fire, bring me to heat
I'll get back on the back beat

I wasn't born to lose
But sometimes it just goes that way
If I had to choose
I wouldn't know what to do anyway
There's no excuse
I get lost in the same old mistakes

I get back on the backbeat
Keep digging my grave
I get back on the backbeat
Keep digging my grave
I get back on the backbeat
Keep digging my grave
