[Verse 1] I built my way up out the ashes Hands cut, hearts stitched with faith Though maybe this time it would matter Hope's just a promise that breaks [Verse 2] You gave me dawn, then you burned it Now the sun just marks my scars Every brick I laid turns to splinters Every prayer just hits the bars [Chorus] So leave me be, don't whisper light Don't preach your peace, don't talk of right I loved the dawn, I tried to fight But hell keeps draggin' me back tonight The fall's got glass beneath the ground Cut my hands just to make a sound Why can't you just leave me be? Let me bleed Where you found me [Verse 3] I ain't askin' for redemption I've done paid that toll in tears Every dream I dared to mention Turns to dust between my ears [Verse 4] They say keep walking toward the morning But I can't find that road no more The light just blinds me without warning Then drops me cold where I was before [Chorus] So leave me be, don't whisper light Don't preach your peace, don't talk of right I loved the dawn, I tried to fight But hell keeps draggin' me back tonight The fall's got glass beneath the ground Cut my hands just to make a sound Why can't you just leave me be? Let me bleed Where you found me [Verse 5] I'm tired of beggin' mercy's name While devils dance in heaven's flame If there's a reason I can't see Why love keeps burnin' down in me [Outro] Don't tell me light's worth the pain When I'm born again just to die the same I love the dawn, but it won't stay It always leaves, it fades away So leave me be Just leave me be
