"Writing's On The Wall"

I've been here before

But always hit the floor

I've spent a lifetime running

And I always get away

But with you, I'm feeling something

That makes me want to stay

I'm prepared for this

I never shoot to miss

But I feel like a storm is coming

If I'm gonna make it through the day

Then there's no more use in running

This is something I got to face

If I risk it all

Could you break my fall?

How do I live? How do I breathe?

When you're not here, I'm suffocating

I want to feel love run through my blood

Tell me, is this where I give it all up?

For you, I have to risk it all

'Cause the writing's on the wall

A million shards of glass

That haunt me from my past

As the stars begin to gather

And the light begins to fade

When all hope begins to shatter

Know that I won't be afraid

If I risk it all

Could you break my fall?

How do I live? How do I breathe?

When you're not here, I'm suffocating

I want to feel love run through my blood

Tell me, is this where I give it all up?

For you, I have to risk it all

'Cause the writing's on the wall

The writing's on the wall

How do I live? How do I breathe?

When you're not here, I'm suffocating

I want to feel love run through my blood

Tell me, is this where I give it all up?

How do I live? How do I breathe?

When you're not here, I'm suffocating

I want to feel love run through my blood

Tell me, is this where I give it all up?

For you, I have to risk it all

'Cause the writing's on the wall
