Lead Me On

Lyrics

Verse 1
I never promised forever
Never promised you the moon
I learned that love's a fire
And a fire's meant to burn

I wanted all of you
Let tomorrow wait
'Cause everything that lingers on
Forgets why it shines

Pre-Chorus
Love is a leap into the dark
No bargains, no guarantee
Love that needs a safety net
Girl..never had the heart

Chorus
Let it burn
Backing vocals: burn, burn, burn!
Let it burn while the flame is bright
Let it shine
Backing vocals: shine, shine, shine!
Let it shine while there's still light
Love don't ask for forever
Backing vocals: no, no, no!
It just says
"Lead me on"
Backing vocals: lead me on!

Verse 2
If it hurts when it's over
Let it hurt because it's true
Better one honest goodbye
Than a thousand borrowed moons

I've seen promises fade away
I've seen forever come undone
I'd rather risk losing your heart
Than never know its name

Pre-Chorus
I never kept you like a memory
I wanted you right here with me
'Cause love that turns to chains
Has already lost its heart

Chorus
Let it burn
Backing vocals: burn, burn, burn!
Let it burn while the flame is bright
Let it shine
Backing vocals: shine, shine, shine!
Let it shine while there's still light
Love don't ask for forever
Backing vocals: no, no, no!
It just says
"Lead me on"
Backing vocals: lead me on!

Bridge
If time should take us down roads
That never meet again
May I always keep the courage
To have loved you while I can

If it's fire
Backing vocals: Take me!
If it's pain
Backing: vocals Stay true!
'Cause the kind of love worth having
Never promised heaven to you
Backing vocals: heaven to you...

Guitar Solo

I don't want a safe love
I want a real one
One that lasts just long enough
To set this whole heart free

And when the fire turns to memory
I won't deny its glow
'Cause loving with no guarantees
Was the truest thing I've known

Final Chorus
Let it burn
Backing vocals: burn, burn, burn!
Let it burn while the flame is bright
Let it shine
Backing vocals: shine, shine, shine!
Let it shine while there's still light
Love don't ask for forever
Backing vocals: no, no, no!
It just says
"Lead me on"
Backing vocals: lead me on
Lead me on...
Backing vocals: lead me on
Lead me on...
[Backing vocals: keep me going, lead me on]
