lyrics

Although I’ve been silent all this time
I don’t intend to hold my breath inside
although I’ve been dormant for so long
today’s the day when I awaken twice as strong

There’s no explanation
or simple alibi
in this situation
its easy to deny

Although I will sometimes hesitate
you can expect that I’ll be worth the wait
although I won’t always get it right
most of all I’ll give a bark without a bite

Please don’t look for meaning
in every last mistake
forgive me if I’m dreaming
while you’re wide awake

I didn’t mean to let you down
you shouldn’t need to help me up
where the story goes
nobody knows

Although I’ve been known to disappear
I would prefer to make my presence clear
although I’ve been hollow as a hole
now there’s room to fill the spaces in my soul

Nothing lasts forever
no matter what you choose
so its now or never
you can win or you can lose

I didn’t mean to let you down
you shouldn’t need to help me up
where the story goes
nobody knows
