(True as I can be) (But I won't make you leave) Here we go, across the lines We built our fires one hundred times You make me say the words that I Might need to hear to feel all right So I don't need a second chance To be the one that I know I am I see you from a different side I still believe that you're here tonight True as I can be, we were never really standing But I won't make you leave until you're ready Long as we can chase what I know that I believe Then I won't make you leave until you're ready I wonder what our friends would say To see us now with a different aim Sharper light, stronger eyes A stiffer chafe on a truer lie It's greater than the blackest white It's darker than the darkest sky I see from a different side I still believe that you're here tonight True as I can be, we were never really standing But I won't make you leave until you're ready Long as we can chase what I know that I believe Then I won't make you leave until you're ready As true as I can be, like I should not want to see Someone stronger underneath, with or without me As true as I can be, like I should not want to see Someone stronger underneath, with or without me True as I can be, we were never really standing But I won't make you leave until you're ready Long as we can chase what I know that I believe Then I won't make you leave until you're ready
