Up To You Now
Ben Harper · Other Songs - Ben Harper
But you can't run away from your pain
I sit here alone
There's always someone else to blame
It's up to you now
It's up to you now
Don't wanna be your broken dream
We've run out of fate somehow
And it's up to you now
I have to hide from my own face
Now that we have fallen from grace
Arms that hold you close
Are the arms that hold you back
While your world is under attack
It's up to you now
It's up to you now
I stumble to your altar
With my knees bent, my head bowed
And it's up to you now
There's no sound louder than war
And we don't have tomorrow anymore
You wrote a list with all your demands
And you nailed it to both of my hands
It's up to you now
It's up to you now
My fist is full of ashes
And my blood is in the ground
So it's up to you now
Up To You Now
