These Wilder Things

...
 All this time
 it was staring me in the face
 I was so far gone
 I could have ended it right there
 I was dead in the ring, lost in the race
 All this time
 it was with me when I was nowhere
 Well it cuts the deepest
 when you watch it moving in
 And there ain't nothing
 you can do to turn it round
 There ain't no armor can save you then
 Love takes no prisoners
 on this battleground
 And letting go
 is the hardest part
 When holding on
 has been everything
 Well I have this pain deep in my heart
 That's why I sing,
 that's why I sing
 Cut me open
 when I'm dead and gone
 You'll see this one ring,
 stained dark as wine
 This was always to be part of my story
 Not yours but mine,
 not yours but mine
 And letting go
 is the hardest part
 Holding on,
 some semblance of control
 Well I have this pain deep in my heart
 But I am still whole,
 I am still whole
 And I will waste my heart on fear no more
 I will find a secret bell and make it ring
 And let the rest be washed up on the shore
 They can't be tamed, these wilder things
 No, they can't be tamed, these wilder things
