White Lies

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]
