One Less Reason
A Lifetime Burning
[Verse 1]
There's something wrong in her world today
She screams it loud but just won't say it
It never was her strongest point, hurry up or wait
Now it's all been said and done
A preacher's daughter a devil's son
Her favorite color a day alone, no smile on her face

[Pre-Chorus]
And you were wrong
And you were wrong

[Chorus]
Because I don't believe I failed you
Are your lies still coming true?
Do you still think that better days are gone?
'Cause after all the things we've been through
Years so hard to lose
Give me a life of half love, half hope, half truth
Or a lifetime burning with you

[Verse 2]
And all those things he said he'd got
Seemed so big but don't mean much
He spends his days just praying to God or feeling in his way
No one saw the broken heart, or even knew the day it started
No one thought he was good enough
Except for you, except for you
[Chorus]
I don't believe I failed you
Are your lies still coming true?
Do you still think that the better days are gone?
'Cause after all the things we've been through
Years so hard to lose
Give me a life of half love, half hope, half truth
Or a lifetime burning, yeah

[Verse 3]
Your gonna miss those things you're giving away
You need to hold out, you're gonna break down
You need to find your way back to the start
Who cares what they say? It's still your heart
Your heart

[Bridge]
There's something wrong in her world today
The one she loved, she threw away
Still see it on her face
When she's got a smile to fake
And all those things he said he'd got
He cashed them in, it just wasn't enough
To buy back or start to replace the one he loved

[Pre-Chorus]
And you were wrong
And I was wrong
[Chorus]
Because I don't believe I failed you
Are your lies still coming true?
Do you still think that better days are gone?
'Cause after all the things we've been through
Years so hard to lose
Give me a life of half love, half hope, half truth

[Outro]
'Cause I'll take a life of half love, half hope, half truth
Or a lifetime burning
