If you were here when I crawled out your name, Late last night, I would have punched the wall
And buried my fists into the pillow in fright
And you would have stroked my hair and said I'll be alright
But you won't be around till you how it ends
When I switch out the light, when I switch out the light, later on tonight
I felt my heart grow dim in the dark and I breathed my last breath and used it to say your name
And I cried loud and the lights went out and there was no more pain
But in the cold, in the dark, in the fields, in the park to say I drifted to a place where the people lay
They were there for the same damn reason that I turned to the cold and took it all away
When the dream's out on the ridge, when they fall and don't get up, it's not
And you know that it's a lie when you're, and you dream that all is right and you want
So they told me that you'd found love and I'm glad it finally found you
And I hope that it stays long cause there's nothing else without you
You can build a big empire out of majesty and steel
You can write it all down and put this song on
Reads it loud in many years and everyone stays for it
But that's not love, but that's not life
That's not love, but I made you my wife
I made you my wife
