[Verse 1]

You were life, you were love

You were water

You were bread

Feel my breath getting harder

And I know if you're gone any longer

That I could bleed my heart out

You were gold and I took you for granted

Held the world in the palm of my hand

But I was blind, couldn't see what I had then

Now I bleed my heart out

[Pre-Chorus]

If you could stay just a little while longer

You might believe, I've been trying to make a change

[Chorus]

'Cause everything I touch, turns to ashes

And everything I love, walks away from me

Everything I've lost, casts a shadow

I'm trying not to hold on

I'm ready for that, higher, higher ground

Higher, higher ground

Higher, higher ground

I'm never coming down, never coming down

[Verse 2]

We were young, we were lost

We were frozen

Broken hearts that were aching to open

Now I see there was no way of knowing

That we were bleeding out

[Pre-Chorus]

But if you could stay just a little while longer

You might believe, I've been trying to make a change

[Chorus]

'Cause everything I touch, turns to ashes

And everything I love, walks away from me

Everything I've lost, casts a shadow

I'm trying not to hold on

I'm ready for that, higher, higher ground

Higher, higher ground

Higher, higher ground

I'm never coming down, never coming down

I'm never coming down, never coming down

I'm never coming down, never coming down

[Breakdown]

'Cause everything I touch, turns to ashes

And everything I love, walks away from me

Everything I've lost, casts a shadow

I'm trying

[Chorus]

'Cause everything I touch, turns to ashes

And everything I love, walks away from me

Everything I've lost, casts a shadow

I'm trying not to hold on

I'm ready for that, higher, higher ground

Higher, higher ground

Higher, higher ground

Never coming down

Higher, higher ground

Higher, higher ground

Higher, higher ground

I'm never coming down, I'm never coming down
