Victory

There is something in the air
It's like a chill that's barely there
Till it cuts me to the bone
Unprepared and unaware
Fear, like a gun in your hand
There's no need to be unkind
Put it down or shoot it blind
I am hostage to your dread
Of being used and left behind

Find me the words
Why should it hurt to say that
You don't know how much you mean to me
You don't know how much you mean to me
Go ahead and claim your victory
Oh, but I can't let you go
Because I know I bruised you
Every time I couldn't find you
I destroyed your hiding place

All because I wished to bind
Your heart to my heart
For all time
Find me a way
How can you say
You don't know how much you mean to me
You don't know how much you mean to me
So go ahead and claim your victory

I brought down your walls
And made them crumble
But it was all for love.
Your hunger grows, and when you stumble
It won't be enough
So if I'm damned and unforgiven
I will take my time
And wait as long as you believe in redemption
For my kind

You don't know how much you mean to me
You don't know how much you mean to me
Go ahead and claim your victory
Oh, but I can't let you go
