White Lies - The Power & the Glory lyrics

[White Lies - The Power & the Glory lyrics]

What if I were to disobey
Give you back the power?
Would I be punished like a child
And left on my own?
Would you think me ungrateful
And send me away
If I couldn't make you happy?

As empty handed leaving as I was when I came
Tiptoeing through the rubble and
Running through the flames
As empty handed leaving as I was when I came
Tiptoeing through the rubble and
Running through the flames
As empty handed leaving as I was when I came
Tiptoeing through the rubble and
Running through the flames
As empty handed leaving as I was when I came
Tiptoeing through the rubble and
Running through the flames

What if I were to disobey
Give you back the power?
Would you be the one to turn your back
And cast the first stone?
Would you think me a coward
Though I'd be the hero and come home a hero?

I gave you back your power
I gave you back your glory
Well, really, I hadn't noticed
Until I had the power to give it all back
Until I felt the glory
When the buildings collapsed
I gave you back your power
I gave you back your glory
Well, really, I hadn't noticed
Until I had the power to give it all back
Until I felt the glory
When the buildings collapsed

As empty handed leaving as I was when I came
Tiptoeing through the rubble and
Running through the flames
As empty handed leaving as I was when I came
Tiptoeing through the rubble and
Running through the flames
As empty handed leaving as I was when I came
Tiptoeing through the rubble and
Running through the flames
As empty handed leaving as I was when I came
Tiptoeing through the rubble and
Running through the flames

I gave you back your power
I gave you back your glory
Well, really, I hadn't noticed
Until I had the power to give it all back
Until I felt the glory
When the buildings collapsed
I gave you back your power
I gave you back your glory
Well, really, I hadn't noticed
Until I had the power to give it all back
Until I felt the glory
When the buildings collapsed

I gave you back your power
I gave you back your glory
I gave you back your power
I gave you back your glory
I gave you back your power
I gave you back your glory
I gave you back your power
I gave you back your glory
