You said you´d light a candle
And you´d say a prayer for me
I feel the light has dimmed and gone
Half the world is begging
While the other half steals
Where did everything go wrong?

Some days I can´t believe
Others, I´m on my knees
Trying to be heard

I was your anger
And you were my fear
Now that it´s over
Of course it´s so clear
But you were no angel
And I was no sin
Somehow I can´t let it go
I can´t let it go

And half the world is sleeping
While the other half dreams
You close your eyes
And then you´re gone
And maybe my intentions
Have been misunderstood
I know you feel so beautifully wronged

Some days I can´t believe
Others, I´m on my knees
Hoping I belong

I was your anger
And you were my fear
Now that it´s over
Of course it´s so clear
But you were no angel
And I was no sin
Somehow I can´t let it go
I can´t let it go

And laughter is my soul´s release
But we´re not smiling anymore
And can´t we try to win this peace?
´Cause we´re never gonna win
Never gonna win this war

I was your anger
And you were my fear
Now that it´s over
Of course it´s so clear
But you were no angel
And I was no sin
Somehow I can´t let it go
I can´t let it go
