2. Shot in the Dark (5:02)
I've been left out alone like a damn criminal.
I've been praying for help cause I can't take it all.
I'm not done, it's not over.
Now I'm fighting this war since the day of the fall
And I'm desperately holding on to it all,
But I'm lost, I'm so damn lost.
Oh, I wish it was over,
And I wish you were here.
Still I'm hoping that somehow...
‘Cause your soul is on fire, a shot in the dark.
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater, it's all in my hands,
But what can I do? Don't let it fall apart.
A shot in the dark, a shot in the dark.
In the blink of an eye I can see through your eyes.
As I'm lying awake I'm still hearing the cries,
And it hurts, hurts me so bad.
And I'm wondering why I still fight in this life,
‘Cause I've lost all my faith in this damn bitter strife
And it's sad, it's so damn sad.
‘Cause your soul is on fire, a shot in the dark.
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater, it's all in my hands,
But what can I do? Don't let it fall apart.
A shot in the dark, a shot in the dark,
A shot in the dark, a shot in the dark,
A shot in the dark.
I feel you're fading away.
I feel you're fading away.
I feel you're fading away.
I feel you're fading away.
‘Cause your soul is on fire, a shot in the dark.
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater, it's all in my hands,
But what can I do? Don't let it fall apart.
Oh, your soul is on fire, a shot in the dark.
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater, it's all in my hands,
But what can I do? Don't let it fall apart.
A shot in the dark, a shot in the dark,
A shot in the dark, a shot in the dark,
A shot in the dark.
I've been praying for help cause I can't take it all.
I'm not done, it's not over.
Now I'm fighting this war since the day of the fall
And I'm desperately holding on to it all,
But I'm lost, I'm so damn lost.
Oh, I wish it was over,
And I wish you were here.
Still I'm hoping that somehow...
‘Cause your soul is on fire, a shot in the dark.
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater, it's all in my hands,
But what can I do? Don't let it fall apart.
A shot in the dark, a shot in the dark.
In the blink of an eye I can see through your eyes.
As I'm lying awake I'm still hearing the cries,
And it hurts, hurts me so bad.
And I'm wondering why I still fight in this life,
‘Cause I've lost all my faith in this damn bitter strife
And it's sad, it's so damn sad.
‘Cause your soul is on fire, a shot in the dark.
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater, it's all in my hands,
But what can I do? Don't let it fall apart.
A shot in the dark, a shot in the dark,
A shot in the dark, a shot in the dark,
A shot in the dark.
I feel you're fading away.
I feel you're fading away.
I feel you're fading away.
I feel you're fading away.
‘Cause your soul is on fire, a shot in the dark.
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater, it's all in my hands,
But what can I do? Don't let it fall apart.
Oh, your soul is on fire, a shot in the dark.
What did they aim for when they missed your heart?
I breathe underwater, it's all in my hands,
But what can I do? Don't let it fall apart.
A shot in the dark, a shot in the dark,
A shot in the dark, a shot in the dark,
A shot in the dark.
