[Intro: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis]

Pulled both ways but still suspended

The worst of each, reduced and blended

Still suspended, suspended

[Verse 1: Tim Lambesis & Josh Gilbert]

I thought I was stuck between two worlds

Because I was not willing to let go

Recklessly pulled both ways

But somehow still suspended

The worst of each (the worst of each)

Reduced and blended (reduced and blended)

But as life unfolded, I realized

The momentum to drift from side to side

Came from within, came from inside

[Chorus 1: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis]

I feel torn between two hearts dying

But I'll trade them in for one (I'll trade them for one)

Broken and exposed, collapsing

So why would I hold on? (So why would I hold on?)

[Verse 2: Tim Lambesis]

One heart turned black

The other blue and bruised

Arms breaking, arms breaking

From the dreams

Dreams shattered

The dreams that I can't reach

There has to be

There has to be a choice I have not seen

[Chorus: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis]

I feel torn between two hearts dying

But I'll trade them in for one (I'll trade them for one)

Broken and exposed, collapsing

So why would I hold on? (So why would I hold on?)

I feel torn between two hearts dying

But I'll trade them in for one (I'll trade them for one)

[Bridge: Tim Lambesis]

One darkened over time

Burning away the shame

Erasing hidden insights

I did not want to be seen

The other was beaten

From being exposed

So it hurt less

To never hold it close

[Chorus: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis]

I feel torn between two hearts dying

But I'll trade them in for one (I'll trade them for one)

Broken and exposed, collapsing

So why would I hold on? (So why would I hold on?)

I feel torn between two hearts dying

But I'll trade them in for one

So why would I hold on?

I'll trade them in for one

[Outro: Tim Lambesis & Josh Gilbert]

Neither heart had power to fill my veins

Or be the source of who I want to be

Pulled both ways but still suspended
