You Came So Close Lyrics - Counting Stars - Andrew Peterson

You could no more kill the darkness 

Than you could raise the sun 

And the sky was cold and black 

Like the barrel of a gun 

And I remember the tremble 

In the words you spoke 

As you balanced there on the brink 

At the end of your rope 

You came so close to letting go 

And you knew she would hate you 

She would kick you out 

You'd been lying in the bed that you made 

When you broke your vow

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

Then you work in the wasteland 

Of the truth you told 

And you turned to see she strayed, 

She was bright as a band of gold 

You came so close to letting go 

So don't let go, 'cause you never know 

Don't let go, you never know for sure 

And the sky in Nashville 

It can bend you low 

'Cause the winter here is gray 

Without a trace of snow 

But there is no shadow 

On the silver stars 

And the colder the night is, 

The closer the heavens are 

Photos 

And we're so close 

So don't let go 

'Cause this I know 

Don't let go 

This I know for sure: 

There's still hope
