Love cast me away
and now I'm a refugee
From the only home I know
and I'm running running running
All the fear and fantasy
All came rushing back to me
I've lost all my dignity
and I'm crying crying crying
Break me down
Burn me up
Build me back again
I've got nothing left to lose
I told the voice inside my head
and it said
On your knees and you will be forgiven
Dreaming on the banks of the blue river
Love will come back you see
If you remember how to breathe
Dreaming on the banks of the blue river
Broken hearts and false starts
Everybody falls apart
Skies so dark cant see the stars
and i'm hurting
I'm a stranger to myself
and I don't want nobody's help
I just need to hide away
and remember who I am
Break me down
Burn me up
Build me back again
I've got nothing left to lose
I told the voice inside my head
and it said
Yesterday called my name
The past tried to pull me back
To who I used to be
You gave my love away
and is it a sin to know
I wouldn't change a thing?
On your knees and you will be forgiven
Dreaming on the banks of the blue river
Love will come back you see
If you remember how to breathe
Dreaming on the banks of the blue river
