Tell me who'd you gone and run to now?
What is if this is it, do we turn around?
There's a ladder to the stars, up ahead
Don't you wanna take my hand? Take my heart instead.
Crying I just wanna feel alive,
Help me reach the heavens from this hell inside.
'Cause you wrestle with the cross that you bear
No Jesus 'round your neck gonna save you here.
Well I suppose that I'm just a shot in the dark
Have you ever wondered why we miss the mark?
You say love it never dies, it just falls apart
And how do you love me when you fall apart
Go and start a revolution with this heavy heart
Seen you've tattooed every tear that's on your face
Oh you've had it up to here, you just couldn't wait.
Now baby I don't know why I feel so reckless
Show me what you're hiding from.
Am I man enough to walk away from this?
I keep searching for some truth, but it don't exist.
Well I suppose that I'm just a shot in the dark
Have you ever wondered why we miss the mark?
You say love it never dies, it just falls apart.
And I suppose in time that shadows the burning of the demons in your soul
And you surrender to the fear of letting go.
You knew it was hard, right from the start.
Tell me who'd you gone and run to now, who'd you gone and run to now?
Well I suppose that Life's just a shot in the dark
From the moment we arrive we're just playing the part
And that longing never dies, it's there from the start
You don't know the reason why but it tears you apart
And if love it is denied it will shatter your heart
And if love it is denied it will shatter your heart
Every piece that you can find, it still comes apart.
Well I suppose that I must drown all the demons that lay burning through your soul
And you left crying oh they'll never let me go
Are you still trying, oh they'll never let you go
Well I'm...I'm just a shot in the dark.
Well I'm...I'm just a shot in the dark.
Just a shot in the dark.
