[Verse 1: Andrew Wells]
There was a time when I believed in myself
But those days are over, I'm overwhelmed
No reason to fight for a world that couldn't care less
If I'm alive or if I'm dead
I'm a lighthouse in the ocean with all the bulbs burnt out
I'm an amaryllis wilting in the middle of a drought
I'm a statue in a mausoleum, name engraved in silt
I'm a hopeless romantic, that's the way that I was built
[Chorus: Andrew Wells]
Remember all the times we shared?
Well, I hope that it was worth it, еvery pleasure, еvery pain
If there's a God out there somewhere
Well, I hope He can restore me to the man I was before I lost my way
[Verse 2: JT Gutierrez]
I'm a flame that's all but faded, feels like the walls are caving in
I was jaded and pissed, overworked so I quit
I couldn't atone for all my sins
Now there's a lighthouse built before me
Showing me everything I wanna believe
But I'm a criminal, too stressed, I feel subliminal
Just tryna make it through the goddamn day
[Pre-Chorus: Andrew Wells]
I pray you found a way back to solid ground
[Chorus: Andrew Wells]
Remember all the times we shared?
Well, I hope that it was worth it, every pleasure, every pain
If there's a God out there somewhere
Well, I hope He can restore me to the man I was before I lost my way
[Bridge: Andrew Wells]
I'll get this off of my chest
I've been waiting for a sign
'Cause I've been giving up, giving up slowly
I ain't got no peace of mind
You're on the outside, and I'm looking in
When you're giving up, giving up slowly
There's no way to win
[Outro: Andrew Wells]
There was a time when I believed that the world was ready to be saved
Well, I was wrong
If you read this a thousand years from now
This song is a gift to the misled
