What if I were to disobey
|
And give you back the power,
|
Woudl I be punished like a child,
|
And left on my own?
|
Would you think me ungrateful,
|
And send me away,
|
If I couldn't make you happy?
|
|
As empty handed leaving as I was when I came
|
Tip-toeing through the rubble
|
And running through the flames [4x]
|
|
What if I was to disobey
|
and give you back the power
|
Would you be the one to turn your back
|
And cast the first stone?
|
Would you think me a coward?
|
Though I'd be the hero
|
And come home a hero
|
|
I gave you back your power
|
I gave you back your glory
|
Well really, I hadn't noticed,
|
Until I had the power to give it all back
|
Until I felt the glory when the buildings collapsed [2x]
|
|
As empty handed leaving as I was when I came
|
Tip-toeing through the rubble
|
And running through the flames [4x]
|
|
I gave you back your power
|
I gave you back your glory
|
Well really, I hadn't noticed,
|
Until I had the power to give it all back
|
Until I felt the glory when the buildings collapsed [2x]
|
|
I gave you back your power
|
I gave you back your glory [4x]
