I Can't Lose Forever

(album: Thunder After Lightning (The Uncut Demos) - 2007)

Feeling cold, alone and worn
Is not a way for anyone to be
But this is me
Tic and toc, tic and toc
The clock is keeping time to its own tune inside my room

Frozen in time, but you're holding me tight

When I'm looking down
When I'm losing ground
I won't turn around
'Cause I can't lose forever
No, I can't lose forever

Marooned inside my dark cocoon
The walls are closing-in it's hard to breathe
And I can't see
Rays of light through cracks of hope
You cut the black reveal the open door
And I'm reborn

Drinking in life, stronger this time

When I'm looking down
When I'm losing ground
I won't turn around
'Cause I can't lose forever
I can't lose forever

The life I live is a life I give
Whether it's pain or splendor
It's all about the way you leave
And not the way you enter
