Pushing Back

[Verse 1]
A link in a gold chain broken
By the diamond lies you told
A means to an end

A change in the smell of you
And the tint in your eyes glow [?]
A means to an end

You're pushing back
You're pushing back

Saw it coming when you take a swing [?]
But I'm gonna bandage the cracks [?]
And pray for God to hold my hand

Not even divinity can fill in what we lacked
Now I only pray you understand

[Chorus]
I'm pushing back and I don't wanna turn around
Until I know you've gone
'Cause I'm alive for the first time
And I'm damned if I'll be tempted down

[Verse 2]
Whatchya thinking, were you thinking you can rope in a hurricane
With the promise of a good thing
When it's already gone with the wind

Were you thinking that I would sink
With the lure that used to bring me in
Well that was all just a means to an end

[Chorus]
I'm pushing back and I don't wanna turn around
Until I know you've gone
'Cause I'm alive for the first time
And I'm damned if I'll be tempted down

I'm pushing back
I'm pushing back
I'm pushing back
I'm pushing back

[Verse 3]
I remember the candles
I remember their scent
And I remember the angels
But God knows where they went
Yeah, God knows where they went (God knows where they went)
(God knows where they went, God knows where they went)
God knows where they went
