[Verse 1]

I remembered black skies

The lightning all around me

I remembered each flash

As time began to blur

Like a startling sign

That fate had finally found me


[Pre-Chorus]

And your voice was all I heard

That I get what I deserve


[Chorus]

So give me reason to prove me wrong

To wash this memory clean

Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes

Give me reason to fill this hole

Connect the space between

Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies

Across this new divide


[Verse 2]

There was nothing in sight

But memories left abandoned

There was nowhere to hide

The ashes fell like snow

And the ground caved in

Between where we were standing


[Pre-Chorus]

And your voice was all I heard

That I get what I deserve


[Chorus]

So give me reason to prove me wrong

To wash this memory clean

Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes

Across this new divide


[Bridge]

In every loss, in every lie

In every truth that you deny

And each regret and each goodbye

Was a mistake too great to hide


[Pre-Chorus]

And your voice was all I heard

That I get what I deserve


[Chorus]

So give me reason to prove me wrong

To wash this memory clean

Let the floods cross the distance in your eyes

Give me reason to fill this hole

Connect the space between

Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies

Across this new divide


[Outro]

Across this new divide

Across this new divide
