If you knew me you would stay
If you knew me you would walk away
We don't get black and white
Ours is only shadow light

This is how it goes
One year’s golden and the next one blows
It could be I am wrong
Mistaking breaking dusk for dawn

I’ve heard of this before
My glass ceiling could be your ground floor
If I knew better I would stay
If I knew better I would walk away

Like the earth that splits and moans
A woman by her faults is known
I don't see cracks and sin
I only see how the light gets in

The grey sky it threatens rain above
As our love it threatens pain my love
You can't hurt the one you already left behind
Walk it back, baby, take another breath rewind
And let it rain

There is nothing you could do
To make me turn my back on you
There is nothing you could say
I’ve imagined worse anyway
The waves break on the shore
The shore it only waits for more

Like the earth that splits and moans
A woman by her faults is known
I don't see cracks and sin
I only see how the light gets in

The grey sky it threatens rain above
As our love it threatens pain my love
You can't hurt the one you already left behind
Walk it back, baby, take another breath rewind
And let it rain
