[Verse 1] Heaven stole everything I know Only to claim one other soul Headed down on a lonely road I trace my footsteps back to your home I pray to trade a life I saw the fear in your mother's eyes I can never let the day go by I found the pieces tried to fix it
[Verse 2] They wrote your name on a headstone I saw the fires make dust from bone Now in the night when I dream alone Can you hear me when I call Too tired to run from it When you drew your final breath I knew then that my heart was set
I'd wait for my time heaven take me
[Chorus] I traded all I was for less and I chose to forget the rest And in memory we bow our heads and condemn me to my end I saw love in their tears and I had to accept your years Were at an end when I met you here
[Instrumental Bridge]
[Chorus] I traded all I was for less and I chose to forget the rest And in memory we bow our heads and condemn me to my end I saw love in their tears and I had to accept your years Were at an end when I met you here I'm at my end when I met you here
