I was there, you know, when the feeling died
Felt my blood run cold when I dreamed flatline
When it's love they call it butterflies
Butterflies, never make it through the wintertime
You know that I know I broke the faith
I buried the clock, I wore life's shame
Would you know
Tell me, if our souls should ever meet
Would you recognize the light that's in my eyes
Though we both faced a total incomplete
Defeat upon battle lines
Maybe somewhere farther down the line
There's peace in our time
Yeah, I steeled myself as best I could
On the night I said I don't love you
But the fire in your eyes burned right through
I'm a blackened and the shades are too far gone
To rescue, you know that I know I broke your heart
Letting you go tore me apart
Would you know me
If our souls should ever meet
Would you recognize the light that's in my eyes
Though we both faced a total incomplete
Defeat upon battle lines
My Father told me
Son, something's worth fighting for
As if I, I didn't try to win for you

I hope you know it ain't me, hard to believe is it baby
It was you and it was me I was fighting for
It was you and it was me I was leaving for
It was you and it was me It was peace
Peace in our time
