I never meant to say I love you I never meant to lead you on But sometimes pride can get the best of me And drag the rest of me along We leave behind the stains of battle We count the dead and grieve the loss A civil war without a victor I never really cared about the loss If there’s a town beyond the sky Where they greet you by and by I will stay down here and hide No, I will never meet you in the light I found the door that leads to nothing I crossed the threshold once or twice But there was nothing in the nothingness Not just the absence of light There was a whisper in the shadows There was writing on the wall And soon the curtains had been drawn apart I braced my body for the fall If there’s a town beyond the sky Where they greet you by and by I will stay down here and hide No, I will never meet you in the light Please forgive me if I’m broken It wasn’t you who lit the spark I’ve glued the pieces back together As many times as I’ve fallen apart If there’s a town beyond the sunrise I hope they let you through the door But me, I’m walking down the darker road At least I know what lies in store
