[Intro]
Now, I know that I can't make you stay, but where's your heart?
But where's your heart? But where's your-
And I know there's nothing I can say to change that part
To change that part, to change...
[Verse 1]
So many bright lights, they cast a shadow, but can I speak?
Well, is it hard understanding I'm incomplete?
A life that's so demanding, I get so weak
A love that's so demanding, I can't speak
[Chorus]
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
[Verse 2]
Can you see, my eyes are shining bright, 'cause I'm out here
On the other side of a jet black hotel mirror, and I'm so weak
Is it hard understanding I'm incomplete?
A love that's so demanding, I get weak
[Chorus]
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
[Guitar Solo]
[Post-Chorus]
These bright lights have always blinded me
These bright lights have always blinded me, I say!
[Bridge]
I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead
(How can I see, I see you lying)
'Cause I see you lying next to me
(How can I see, I see you lying)
With words I thought I'd never speak
(How can I see, I see you lying)
Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead
(How can I see, I see you lying)
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead!
[Chorus]
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead!) Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
(Or dead!) I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead!) Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
[Outro]
(Or dead!) I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world, alone
(Or dead!) Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
Now, I know that I can't make you stay, but where's your heart?
But where's your heart? But where's your-
And I know there's nothing I can say to change that part
To change that part, to change...
[Verse 1]
So many bright lights, they cast a shadow, but can I speak?
Well, is it hard understanding I'm incomplete?
A life that's so demanding, I get so weak
A love that's so demanding, I can't speak
[Chorus]
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
[Verse 2]
Can you see, my eyes are shining bright, 'cause I'm out here
On the other side of a jet black hotel mirror, and I'm so weak
Is it hard understanding I'm incomplete?
A love that's so demanding, I get weak
[Chorus]
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
[Guitar Solo]
[Post-Chorus]
These bright lights have always blinded me
These bright lights have always blinded me, I say!
[Bridge]
I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead
(How can I see, I see you lying)
'Cause I see you lying next to me
(How can I see, I see you lying)
With words I thought I'd never speak
(How can I see, I see you lying)
Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead
(How can I see, I see you lying)
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid, asleep or dead!
[Chorus]
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead!) Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
(Or dead!) I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead!) Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
[Outro]
(Or dead!) I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world, alone
(Or dead!) Honey, if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
