  • How much can we take before we care to settle?
    Thought we were set for a perfect scene
    Everyone is waiting for a failure
    Something I can't please and justify
    The void within my eyes
    Everyone is waiting for something they cannot have

    Why don't you drop your guard
    I'm on my knees
    You got the mindset of a killer
    And it will not take you far
    If I had the answer would that make you stay?
    This is the time and place it is your moment of fate

    If this would be your last breath
    Would it change a thing?
    Dive head first into the fire

    If you just let me I'll find a way
    To ease your mind and for you to stay
    And I will untie your only ropes
    It's hard for me but believe me, I'm trying

    What are you longing for?
    What are you longing for?
    What are you longing for?

    If I had the answer
    Would that make you stay
    This is the time and place
    You are waiting for something you cannot have

    If this would be your last breath
    Would it change a thing?
    Dive head first into the fire

    If you just let me I'll find a way
    To ease your mind and for you to stay
    And I will untie your only ropes
    It's hard for me

    If you just let me I'll find a way
    To ease your mind and for you to stay
    And I will untie your only ropes
    It's hard for me, believe me, I'm trying Writer/s: Anders Friden, Bjorn Gelotte
