FANTINE
VERSE 1:
I'm looking for a miracle
But I can't see behind those tears
I know what they did
They took your innocence
You were trapped behind those doors
I know what they stole
PRECHORUS:
But the truth beneath the lie's at stake
It's enough to sell your soul
You can't hide the numbing pain
CHORUS:
Hearts cry, arms high
Will they ever reach as far as our fears?
Right here, all around
But eyes can't see when they look straight at the ground
God, I need a miracle
VERSE 2:
Even though you know you're safe
It's one thing to know but another to learn
That who you are is no longer a slave
Embrace your past and move forward with doubt
Ask all the questions that you're thinking aloud
I know who you are
PRECHORUS 2:
But the truth beneath the lie's at stake
It's enough to sell your soul
The numbing pain can change your name
BRIDGE:
What's her name? I think I got it wrong
It took away and started all the fighting now
Until I knew, it didn't really change my thoughts
But when I saw the shape of the human heart
And how far away the deviation of hers was
That's when I knew something had to change right now
Then I saw him coming to her light
Knocking on her door just like all the other times
He thinks she's his and I don't wana know what's next
Pickup a gun and load a bullet in
This one's for him but I struggle with intent
I know I should pull the trigger but I can't just now
It's cause I know that evil will not win
Vengeance has a place but it's not in my own hands
I'll make a difference if you show me how to start here now
