It’s hard enough to know
That something’s made us not the same
Did I give all I could give
Or spend all I could spend in vain

We were holding on the line
Waiting for the sun to rise
But we could not believe
The sunlight never crossed our eyes

I’m giving you my heart to break again
Oh I’m leaving you a way to get back in

Return to me

We were holding on the line
Waiting for the sun to rise
But we could not believe
The sunlight never crossed our eyes

I’m giving you my heart to break again
Oh I’m leaving you a way to get back in

Return to me

Every heart goes down and every fire goes out
When we don’t hurt anymore
I know it’s all my fault that you’re behind this wall
But I’ll be here when you break it.
When you let it down.

Return to me

I’m giving you my heart to break again

Behind the Song:
'It is a love song…a plea for reconciliation. We tried to write some love songs that were as simple as “when a man loves a woman” and try to capture some of that power. Return is the only song on the record that never changed from its original demo version. We liked the vibe of the song so much we didn’t see any need to change it. The vocal we used was the first and only vocal take on this song and was sung about five minutes after we finished the lyrics.' - Needtobreathe
