Behind your back a cold surprise
In favor of the third degree
I took a breath and took the knife
No, I won't defend the killer in me
And I wanted to but couldn't die
I know you know what that's been like
Never backed down only fell down in blinding light
You pinned me under evening's glow

Didn't count on you
But you counted all day
You're breaking every rule
I'm breaking down on every corner
No, healing isn't easy

But when you look at me, I'm lifted high up
Higher than my rain clouds
Sitting on the mountain, now I'm high up
Never wanna come down
When you look at me, I'm lifted

Blue skies are all I see when
Your eyes are locked on me, I'm high up
Never wanna come down
High up

So when I met my darkest hour
A traitor to the bleeding night
You saw me cowered in the corner
And offered me a second chance
Now every night I wrestle love
Didn't know that it could hurt this much
I count to 3 and take the jump
And never really hit the ground

Didn't count on you
But you counted all day
You're breaking every rule
I'm breaking down on every corner
No, healing isn't easy

But when you look at me, I'm lifted high up
Higher than my rain clouds
Sitting on the mountain, now I'm high up
Never wanna come down
When you look at me, I'm lifted

Blue skies are all I see when
Your eyes are locked on me, I'm high up
Never wanna come down
High up
