Lyrics:

(John Rzeznik)



You said you’d light a candle

And you’d say a prayer for me.

I feel the light has dimmed and gone.

Half the world is begging

While the other half steals.

Where did everything go wrong?



Some days I can’t believe,

Others I’m on my knees,

Trying to be heard.



I was your anger,

And you were my fear.

Now that it’s over

Of course it’s so clear.

But you were no angel

And I was no sin.

Somehow I can’t let it go.

I can’t let it go.



And half the world is sleeping

While the other half dreams.

You close your eyes

And then you’re gone.

And maybe my intentions

Have been misunderstood.

I know you feel so beautifully wronged.



Some days I can’t believe,

Others I’m on my knees,

Hoping I belong.



I was your anger,

And you were my fear.

Now that it’s over

Of course it’s so clear.

But you were no angel

And I was no sin.

Somehow I can’t let it go.

I can’t let it go.



And laughter is my soul’s release,

But we’re not smiling anymore.

Can’t we try to win this peace?

Cause we’re never gonna win,

Never gonna win this war.



I was your anger,

And you were my fear.

Now that it’s over

Of course it’s so clear.

But you were no angel

And I was no sin.

Somehow I can’t let it go.

I can’t let it go.
