My Last Heartbeat

(album: Songs For The End Of The World - 2012)

Heal my broken soul

There's a hole in my soul where the love leaks out
A shadow in my heart that's filled with doubt
A devil on my back I can hear him shout
(Let me in, let me in)

I went looking for your city of kingdom come
On the way I hit a roadside bomb
It's always darkest before the dawn
(Lift me up, lift me up)

Heal my broken soul
Take me!

I'm down to my last heartbeat
Last ounce of wasted pride
You know I'd walk on water
To bridge this great divide
My last heartbeat
Waits for the wrecking crew
The cavalry's not coming
There is no one but you

Heal my broken soul

I watch your eyes light up like lightening strikes
You shield your heart with railroad spikes
Battle scarred from the firefights
(Shelter me, shelter me)

I live lost in the city of eternal lights
On the hundredth floor with a fear of heights
Only with your touch the fire ignites
(Light me up, light me up)

Heal my broken soul
Take me!

I'm down to my last heartbeat
Last ounce of wasted pride
You know I'd walk on water
To bridge this great divide
My last heartbeat
Waits for the wrecking crew
The cavalry's not coming
There is no one but you

Take me!

I'm down to my last heartbeat
All bridges have been burned
I can't give back what you gave me
Cause love can't be returned

My last heartbeat
Still thinks that dreams come true
There is no one can save me
There is no one but you

My last heartbeat
Last ounce of wasted pride
You know I'd walk on water
To bridge this great divide

My last heartbeat
Waits for the wrecking crew
The cavalry's not coming
There is no one but you

Heal my broken soul
Heal my broken soul
