Lyrics

If you twist and turn away  
If you tear yourself in two again  
If I could, yes I would  
If I could, I would  
Let it go  
Surrender  
Dislocate  
  
If I could throw this  
Lifeless lifeline to the wind  
Leave this heart of clay  
See you walk, walk away  
Into the night  
And through the rain  
Into the half-light  
And through the flame  
  
If I could through myself  
Set your spirit free  
I'd lead your heart away  
See you break, break away  
Into the light  
And to the day  
  
To let it go  
And so to fade away  
To let it go  
And so fade away  
  
I'm wide awake  
I'm wide awake  
Wide awake  
I'm not sleeping  
Oh, no, no, no  
  
If you should ask then maybe they'd  
Tell you what I would say  
True colors fly in blue and black  
Bruised silken sky and burning flag  
Colors crash, collide in blood shot eyes  
  
If I could, you know I would  
If I could, I would  
Let it go...  
  
This desperation  
Dislocation  
Separation  
Condemnation  
Revelation  
In temptation  
Isolation  
Desolation  
Let it go  
  
And so fade away  
To let it go  
And so fade away  
To let it go  
And so to fade away  
  
I'm wide awake  
I'm wide awake  
Wide awake  
I'm not sleeping  
Oh, no, no, no
