In this fading image   we'll carve our destiny   sometimes life is a cruel friend   sometimes that's what we need      I'll hold my eyes when the light comes in   I'll sell my silence for a song   now I won't die if you walk away   but I may not live      Now I watch as the rain comes down   to purify this pain   when mountains crumble and stars collide   I am what remains      There are lessons that sadness   can only teach   there are things that we must learn   now I won't die if you walk away   but I may not live
