when hope is gone
I can finally live free
so kill that light
that blinds me
lies and deceits
ladders to make believe
hope-sent me down to my knees
and hope-sent my down to my knees
when hope is lost
I can finally love, dear
hope hides truth
that should be so clear
let my heart break
instead of wasting away,
and away and away
hope-sent me down to my knees
hope-sent me down to my knees
fools always say
we need hope to survive
but hope's just disappointment
biding its sweet time
to send us down to our knees
hope-sends us down to our knees
my hope in us
it what I was married to
and when you left
somehow she stayed true
hope finds a way
to make us pay and pay
and pay and pay and pay
pay, and send us down to our knees
to pay, and send us down to our knees
to pay, I'm down on my knees
