Hold me now, I am breaking
Eyes are raw and bones are aching
Un-clench my fists for the last time today
And wish your face would fade away
All of the hours
All of the sleepless nights
All of the worry trapped under blinding lights
All of the faces blank as the room is bright
We take it all just to prove wrong from right
Just to prove wrong from right
Just like birds on the wire
Strung out but never tired
When the flames grow higher
We'll soar up from the fire
And start again
All of the hours
All of the sleepless nights
All of the worry trapped under blinding lights
All of the faces blank as the room is bright
We'll take it all just to prove wrong from right
I will hold on hope
Keep your mind from the road
And we'll save our sorrow 'till we know
'Till we know
They're gonna send us home
Just like birds on the wire
Strung out but never tired
When the flames grow higher
We'll soar up from the fire
And start again
(I will hold on hope)
(Keep your mind from the road)
(I will save our sorrow 'till we know)
('Till we know)
(They're gonna send us home)
I will hold on hope
Keep your mind from the road
I will save our sorrow 'till we know
'Till we know
They're gonna send us home
Just like birds on the wire
All of the hours
All of the sleepless nights
All of the worry trapped under blinding lights
All of the faces blank as the room is bright
We take it all just to prove wrong from right
Just to prove wrong from right
Holding me now, I am breaking
Eyes are raw and bones are aching
When the night feels like it's closing in
You'll hold the light up and we'll start again
