Before It Is Too Late

The look for the truth
Buried beneath all the lies
I stood at a distance to feel who you are
Hiding myself in your eyes
Hold on before it's too late
Or until we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives
Now the miss that might break
Is the one that would save
A life you don't live is still lost
So stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
Nothing is real til it's gone
Hold on before it's too late
Or until we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives
So live like you mean it
And love til you feel it
It's all that we need in our lives
Stand on the edge with me
Hold back your fear and see
nothing is real til its gone
Hold on before it's too late
Or until we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives
It's all that I need in my life
