One Step Away

(Album: What Doesn't Kill Us - 2012)

We all make mistakes, we all have regrets...

Her heart was shining in the night
Like diamonds strewn across the sky
I could not help to catch her light as she walked by
12 steps and seven little lies
2 days of waiting for her voice
That's all it took to burn a hole inside my life

One step away from leaving me in silence
One step away from walking out the door
I see you in my dreams, I pray that I can change
Our lives are breaking from this world we create

We wore our hearts like our last breath
Inhaled the air just as we met
So close to being open, fragile and so scared
You taught me how to live again
Cleaned up the wreckage and began
To walk the road of broken hearts that never ends

One step away from leaving me in silence
One step away from walking out the door
I see you in my dreams, I pray that I can change
Our lives are breaking from this world we create

We all make mistakes, we all have regrets...

Without you I can't be strong
Without you I can't go on
And it's killing me, and I just cannot breathe
Now that I know I was wrong (you know I was wrong)
Without you my emotions are dead
Without you I just can't pretend
And it's killing me, I live in make believe
Now that I know I was wrong, yeah

Stop my bleeding, voices feeding me into the fires I could never see

One step away from leaving me in silence
One step away from walking out the door
I see you in my dreams, I pray that I can change
Our lives are breaking from this world we create
