There are so many promises that we make to each other
But none that we really keep
This is mine for you, and this one will last us
Until we're taken off to sleep

So if you start to fall, I'll be the hand that won't let go
When you're all alone, I'll be that hand that won't let go

And when your heart gives up
And your lungs collapse, for the last time
I'll be there with you, our hands entwined
As you're taken off to sleep

To whom this may concern, I've started to come to terms
With how I've lived my life so far
And made peace with the bad decisions I've made
Life disappears to quickly to dwell on the mistakes

There are parts of my life that I thought I'd wasted
But they made me who I am
If I keep on waiting for better days
They'll never arrive

I thought that I knew, I thought that I understood
But the wheels keep turning over
And the lights keep on rushing by
Nothing's standing still for anyone

When you feel so much loss that your heart almost gives up
When you feel so much loss everything is in focus
When you feel so much loss, when you know that nothing lasts

Death has taught me that all the colours will bleed out
Death has taught me that each light will fade away
