You said you'd light a candle and you'd say a prayer for me
Well I feel the light has dimmed and gone
And 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
And now that it's over of course it's so clear
But you were no angel
And I was no sin
But somehow I can't let it go
Can't let it go
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
But I was your anger
And you were my fear
Now that it's over of course it's so clear
That you were no angel
And I was no sin
But 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
Well I feel the light has dimmed and gone
And 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
And now that it's over of course it's so clear
But you were no angel
And I was no sin
But somehow I can't let it go
Can't let it go
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
But I was your anger
And you were my fear
Now that it's over of course it's so clear
That you were no angel
And I was no sin
But 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
