The Beginning

[Intro]
Just give me a reason
To keep my heart beating
Don't worry, it's safe right here in my arms
As the world falls apart around us
All we can do is hold on, hold on

[Breakdown]
Take my hand
And bring me back, yeah

[Verse 1]
I'll risk everythin' if it's for you
Whisper into the night
Telling me it's not my time and don't give up
I've never stood up before, this time
Down is not the way we go
I feel a chance so I know that I can't give in

[Pre-Chorus]
So stand up, stand up
Just gotta keep on running, wake up, wake up
Just tell me how I can never give up
These moments of beauty (Drive me insane)

[Chorus]
Just tell me why, baby
They might call me crazy
For saying, "I'll fight until there is no more"
Forget how we felt about each other, it's time to get over
Blinded, I can't see the end
So where do I begin?

[Verse 2]
Say another word, I can't hear you
The silence between us
Is startin' to be louder than the word we scream
I'll take this chance that I make you mine
Takin' in the fears I know
And knowing what I can barely say

[Pre-Chorus]
So stand up, stand up
Just gotta keep on running, wake up, wake up
Just tell me how I can never give up
These moments of beauty (Makes me somber)

[Chorus]
Just give me a reason
To keep my heart beating
Don't worry, it’s safe right here in my arms
Crying, it's time to save the weaker, reachin' for something
Blinded, I can't see the end
Look how far we've made it
The pain I can't escape it
Remember a time when I was on the outs and had nowhere to go
I know now that no matter how I start
I have to play my part, all the way through
So where do I begin?

[Bridge]
This hand I've held tightly to keep it close to me
I can't let it slip through these fingers I'll hold on
It's away with those old days back when I had nothin' or no one to lose
I do now

[Chorus]
Just tell me why, baby
They might call me crazy (Crazy)
For saying, "I'll fight until there is no more" (No more)
Forget how we felt about each other, it's time to get over
Blinded, I can't see the end
Look how far we've made it (Made it)
The pain I can't escape it (Escape it)
Remember a time when I was on the outs and had nowhere to go
I know now that no matter how I start
I have to play my part, all the way through (Yeah)
It finally begins
