Fallout - Somewhere Between Grace And Goodbye Lyrics

You lit the fire when I was cold stone
Prayed for a soul I thought I'd outgrown
Said he still sees you through the ash and the lies
I tried, Amanda, God knows I tried

You held my hand through the hardest nights
Told me fate's not lost, just buried inside
But as I climbed from the depths of my shame
You slipped like a whisper I couldn't reclaim

Now I'm safe but alone, was this the plan
Redemption at the cost of holding your hand
Somewhere between grace and goodbye
We crack like the pavement on a live nineteen

I found God again but I lost you in time
And I still see your tears when I close my eyes
Kentucky to West Virginia, heart's divine
I'm whole in my faith but broken inside

I screamed at the sky, begged for one more sign
But heaven stayed silent while you drew the line
You wanted the man that he said I could be
I became him too late, you no longer need me

I write prayers in the dust on my dashboard
Your name still echoes when I close the church doors
And I wonder, Amanda, do you ever cry
When you drive through the towns where we said we'd try

Was I too far gone to love
Did I climb just to lose what I dreamed of
You begged for a miracle and I became one
But not for you, not for us

You gave me a lifeline, I gave you a ghost
You saved my soul but I needed you most
Now faith fills my lungs but not my bed
I still dream of the prayers you once said

Somewhere between grace and goodbye
You became the hymn I still mourn at night
I found peace where the highway curves and wins
But your name's still carved in every mile

Kentucky to West Virginia, look at life
I'm forgiven but I never got to say why
Amanda, you were the angel I couldn't keep
And I still pray for you in the silence where I weep
