You walk so proud But the pride flows through you From your company So world renowned This romance born of hard times Across the sea And I'm lonely
I set myself up for this fall By letting myself think that nothing could go wrong In one hand my signal flare To help you see that I'm still here It's getting hard to take this on my own
Through thick and thin You said you'd be there solely watching me It sucked you in Left you bound by your own hand We approach a crossroad once again You deviate from me
I set myself up for this fall By letting myself think that nothing could go wrong In one hand my burning cross An 'x' to mark where I got lost I just can't take this on my own
So what was to gain From assuring a life that you had in the palm of your hand? Did things slip away? Were they more valued that what Is escaping because of these plans? You said things would change But in the end it will be pointless She always had a hold on your time And it drives me insane Knowing we got so close Now I'm back in that place once again
I set myself up for this fall By letting myself think that nothing could go wrong In one hand my signal flare To help you see that I'm still here In one hand my burning cross An 'x' to mark where I got lost I'm giving up I feel alone
