Every Minute

[Verse 1]

He takes a breath, he runs as fast as

He ever has done in the past

And he breaks the door down and falls inside

This house on fire, will burn tonight

He hears screams upstairs where the TV's on

Here lies trouble where the house once was

Life flies by right in front of his eyes

And will it end tonight?

He shields his face, the roof falls down

And he fights his way upstairs now

But the screaming stops and the TV drowns out

And he hopes that he may have had, then a voice says:

[Chorus]

"This is for every lie you told

For every grudge you hold

For every minute that you have wasted"

[Verse 2]

He stops and stares in the bedroom

Out the mirror, there's no reflection

There's no people, there's no fire

Just a roof above a liar

He sees stars outside he's never seen before

Drops to his knees on the bedroom floor

Life flies by right in front of his eyes

But will it end tonight? Then a voice says:

[Chorus]

"This is for every lie you told

For every grudge you hold

For every minute that you have wasted

This is for every lie you told

For every grudge you hold

For every minute that you have wasted"

[Bridge]

He remembers long ago

A different life with a different soul

He made a promise, he didn't keep it at all

A life worth living is not his own

The gift was taken and it's his fault

Now he's left with just a void, and it says:

[Chorus]

"This is for every lie you told

For every grudge you hold

For every minute that you have wasted

This is for every lie you told

For every grudge you hold

For every minute that you have wasted"
