Blind faith...something we don't believe in

Just when I'd given up...a little voice said, stay and fight.

You just need one to stay and fight, it said...small, tiny and squeaking away.

As if the universe was trying to edge me on, i suddenly noticed the last verses of Nickelback. So yay, I thought...maybe there's a chance. But half a day I waited, then a full day.

I was forgotten, lost amongst the remmants of booze and drugs. So I called and there it was again, the resounding tinkle of a thousand bits, unglued and unstuck. Why do I have so many expectations? Because I was promised a day, an hour, something with you once the exams were over. Because I've been looking forward to this day for a month and a half. Because this lung-upheaving cough I have is partly due to the creation of a Little Nile on my bedspread over the past 6 weeks. Because when everyone included yourself have given up on you, I still believe. Like you believed in me.

A long time ago, you loved me once. And even if I won't let us be together until you've proven yourself once again. I still believe in us...although you keep trying to show why I shouldn't.

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know, you know, you know

[CHORUS]
I love you
I've loved you all along
And I miss you
been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
Cause you know, you know, you know

[CHORUS] that I love you
I've loved you all along
And I miss you
been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

So far away
(So far away)
been far away for far too long
So far away
been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
Cause I needed
I need to hear you say:
that I love you
(I love you)
I've loved you all along
And I forgive you
(and I forgive you)
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and never let me go
Keep breathing
Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and never let me go
(Keep breathing)
Hold on to me and never let me go
(Keep breathing)
Hold on to me and never let me go
Nickelback's Far Away
