[Verse]
 Do you remember all our love 
 Did you get back from what you gave 
 I see some symptoms of 
 A past that you forgave 
 You never where expendable 
 You always made me feel alive 
 And now we're in the middle of 
 A transition in our lives

[Verse] 
 Do you feel singled out 
 Do you feel less than all the rest 
 You know it's interchangable 
 The spotlight and the pain 
 I want to get on top of this 
 I want to build that trust again 
 And if I give it all I've got 
 Well, I'm sure you'd do the same 


[Bridge]

[Verse]
I got to face the fear in this
I see a place for you and I
And we can make the most of it
'Cause our passion never dies
And if you don't believe in me
I'll choose a path and change your mind
And you can take me to your room
Or where ever you may hide


[Bridge]


[Chorus]
 Wake up and see the places
 All you got and all you take  
 You don't have to fall to pieces
 You have to prove it
