Number One (the Ballad)
Sevendust · Other Songs - Sevendust
down to my last stand
try and take my hand
why so hard to leave?
another day of life
lost with hope to find
I want to be the best now that its all gone
Erase my life lines stop reserve the time
Aloud to see believe its me
im alone
(now that im alone)
down to my last stand
try and take my hand
why so hard to leave?
(X2)
cross my heart to live
i'll never cling to still i'm ashamed too
admit that i was ever wrong at all
wash my stains again
still im stranded from my soul
i'll never see this side of life
not alone
(no cries now i'm gone)
down to my last stand
try and take my hand
why so hard leave?
(X2)
it's all up to me
i know to live you have to be strong
i want to end..i want to end this pain
instead of being the one who's wrong
the one who's wrong
i'm not alone
down to my last stand
try and take my hand
why so hard to leave?
(X2)
it's all up to me
i know to live you have to be strong
i want to end i want to end this pain
instead of being the one who's wrong
the one who's wrong
i'm not alone
down to my last stand
try and take my hand
why so hard to leave?
