Danced with the Devil and he smiled as he stole my soul Spun me around with every step until I lost all self control We have all been wounded in someone elses war And gained strength in vengence trying to settle the score But I never did find what I was searching for Each lost battle out weighs all the battles ever won In the aftermath of chaos We had come undone Stumbled in the destruction losing our path along the way And any turn takes us right back to the same time and place Where so long ago we passed the point of no return Doomed to keep repeating lessons never learned Is that not enough Dreams turned to nightmares Tell me is this fair Isn't that enough Held time still for you What more could I do Is that not enough To save you as you were dying Isn't that enough To never stop trying Is that not enough When's enough of me for you Haunted by the ghosts trapped in our memories They are painting vivid pictures of all we can't unsee These eyes have witnessd the worst suffering and grief For too many years my ears have echoed with thier screaming pleas I was downing pills to drown out the silent cries I had to be blind not to see the same sorrow in his eyes Made me question each decision I have ever had to make Broke me down til it was all just too much to take Surrendered my sanity to give him his last breath Traded faith for reality the moment of his death Nothing numbs the pain no words anyone could say No convincing my mind and heart there was no other way No filling the empty void All of these wounds have made Only time can heal and cause these scars to fade Is that not enough Dreams turned to nightmares Tell me is this fair Isn't that enough Held time still for you What more could I do Is that not enough To save you as you were dying Isn't that enough To never stop trying Is that not enough When's enough of me for you Regret awakens demons from the shadows in my mind Reminding me this is my hell the deal had already been signed No sympathy for starting fights no one could ever win No redemption after committing unforgivable sins Cursed for making promises I knew I could not keep Punished for your secrets I tried to bury deep Choked on apologies just trying to swallow my pride Oh I hope you know just how hard I really tried To repair all that has ever been damaged by me Begged for forgiveness pleaded down on my knees But my blood stained hands can never be washed clean There is no turning back the hands of time Is that not enough Dreams turned to nightmares Tell me is this fair Isn't that enough Held time still for you What more could I do Is that not enough To save you as you were dying Isn't that enough To never stop trying Is that not enough When's enough of me for you Cancel the codes there is no more anyone could do Called official time of death at 11:52 Sacrafice ourselves until there is nothing more to give All in the name of love and honor "So Others May Live"
