The hardest words to say
The hardest heart to break
Here comes my brighter day
But I just took her smile away

The moment froze in time
When all her tears were mine
I let the curtain fall
Off of this beautiful lie

I crossed the line
Outwaited the storm
I dropped the bomb
And twisted the thorn
But I can´t face the blame, I can´t face the blame
If you say as you cry my name
That it kills you

The morning makes it clear
In it´s quiet haunting fear
That all I gave away
Will be returned to me one day

Lord, it took so long
To right what I´d done wrong
To learn to live again
With a new world in my hands

I crossed the line
Outwaited the storm
I dropped the bomb
And twisted the thorn
I faced the blame, I faced the blame
As you said when you cried my name
That it kills you

Now were on our own, now were on our own
Yes it is a cross to bear my friend
But were better of alone

I crossed the line
Outwaited the storm
I dropped the bomb
And twisted the thorn
I faced the blame, I faced the blame
As you said, when you cried
As you said, when you cried my name
That it kills you
