Survive

from Your Only Light by Krister Axel

/

lyrics

If all we are is broken
Then we are all the same.
Time will come with nothing
What we have is hope
And no more chains

I couldn't help but notice
There might be a heart that we can share
I'll just be here waiting
For you to want for me to want to stare

Maybe I overstated
There's nothing there to break it
We weren't going to make it
Now I know
I should have seen this coming
I was obsessed with loving
I couldn't get to something
So I tried to survive
To survive, survive

We used to sit together
Now there's someone in my way.
I don't see much forgiveness
What we have is hope
And no more chains

I couldn't help myself, I
Wanted you too much and let it show
I'll just be here waiting
For you to want for me to come back home

Maybe I overstated
There's nothing there to break it
We weren't going to make it
Now I know
I should have seen this coming
I was obsessed with loving
I couldn't get to something
So I tried to survive
To survive, survive

Krister Axel New York

Hi, my name is Krister Axel. I am a roots-rock veteran of the indie music scene, and I have a degree in Poetry. I am a published lyricist, composer, and songwriter. I started playing piano in White Plains, New York because our black upright piano fascinated me and my sisters hated their piano lessons. That was in the 80's and I have never stopped writing songs.
My music blog is called CHILLFILTR. ... more
