Pilot Light

I'm coming up for air
I can't breathe
I'm dying down here
I'm coming up for life
I got to make some wrong things right

I don't believe in fate
Just choice
Just cause and effect
I heard the coast was clear
Is anyone
Is anyone still there?

If you want advice
I'm paying the price
Love, it strikes once
It does not strike twice

"It wasn't in the cards"
That's what we say when it gets too hard
"It wasn't meant to be"
That's what we say so we don't feel guilty

If you want advice
I'm paying the price
Love, it strikes once
It does not strike twice
And when it's gone, it's gone
Like the pilot light
That keeps you holding on
The truth
Was going to set us free
But all it did
Was take you away from me

If you want advice
I'm paying the price
Love, it strikes once
It does not strike twice

And when it's gone, it's gone
Like the pilot light
That keeps you holding on
The truth
Was going to set us free
But all it did
Was take you away from me
