  If you               twist and then      turn away again.
  If you               tear yourself   in  two again.
  If I could,     you  know I would    if  I could, I would                let it
  go.                               Sur-   render.                         Dislo-

If  I could             throw this lifeless lifeline to the wind,     I'd leave this 
    heart of clay.      See you walk,       walk away                    into the 
    night                   and through the rain.                        Into the 
    half-light              and through the flame

If I could              through myself      set your spirit free,     I'd lead your 
   heart away.          See you walk, walk away                          into the 
   light                  and through the  day
                                                                         So let it

   you should         ask then maybe they'd tell you what I would say.       True 
   colors fly    in   blue and black   blue silken sky    and   burning flag
   Killers crash,  col-lide in blood shot   eyes

   If I could, you     know I would.   If   I could,       I    would       let it
