#patton won

I look into your eyes and I think back to the son of mine

You're as old as he was when I left for war

Will these actions haunt my days? Every man I've slain?

Is the price I pay endless pain?

Close your eyes and spare yourself the view

How could I hurt you?

I'm just a man who's trying to go home

Even after all the years away from what I've known

I'm just a man who's fighting for his life

Deep down, I would trade the world to see my son and wife

I'm just a man

But when does the comet become a meteor?

When does a candle become a blaze?

When does a man become a monster?

When does a ripple become a tidal wave?

When does the reason become the blame?

When does a man become a monster?

(When does the comet become a meteor?)

(When does a candle become a blaze?) Forgive me

(When does a man become a monster?) Forgive me

(When does a man become a monster?) Forgive me

In the latest midnight hour

When the world has gone to sleep

You gotta get up

When doubts begin to rise

And the world is at your feet

You gotta get up

Reach, it's not as bad as it seems

I cleanse in the river

For somebody else

For anyone but myself

(But myself)

I'm not a selfless man

I'm not a man of wealth

If I had all the world

Probably give it to myself

But the trees begin to walk

And the ground begins to talk by myself

Reach, it's not as bad as it seems

I cleanse in the river

For somebody else

For anyone but myself

Hold my place

Don't you give up on me

Hold on, hold on

Reach (love doesn't come 'til you give it up)

It's not as bad as it seems (love doesn't come 'til you give it up)

I cleanse in the river (love doesn't come 'til you give it up)

For somebody else (love doesn't come 'til you give it up)

For anyone but myself

Reach (love doesn't come 'til you give it up)

It's not as bad as it seems (love doesn't come 'til you give it up)

I cleanse in the river (love doesn't come 'til you give it up)

[Verse 1]

I don't delete my pictures, wanna keep my memories

Even if they're painful, I know some day they won't be

But it's hard to look through and see the photos of what almost was

Because it's not and it won't be any more than this facade

[Verse 2]

Each picture like a beacon in the night

A siren song that guides me toward the light

And I can't tell right from wrong anymore in the dark

A thousand vivid words, they miss their mark

[Chorus]

And oh, we were on to something magical

And oh, we can't be going back there

Oh, this black and white reminiscing fades slowly back into the red flags

Oh, I still miss things that could have been

[Verse 3]

Time moves slow with you

But ever since that night, can't put together two and two

Lost myself in you

So put me together now I'm begging you

[Chorus]

Cause oh, we were on to something magical

But oh, we can't ever go back there

And oh, this black and white reminiscing fades slowly back into the red flags
