Watching you fade from the sidelines
I'm staring at a person I once knew
Tethered to you by a bloodline
And Dad always said that I got my smile from you
But now you're in a place that I can't follow
And you carved out a space; you left me hollow
If I make it into heaven
And it pays to be a saint
I hope to hell that you'll be there
(You'll be there)
(You'll be there)
I've been trying to find the reasons
For the heartache in my chest,
The parts you cut out when you left
I just want to be myself again
Looking for you in the skyline
I find traces of you in the emptiness
(Oh)
And Mom always said there's a timeline
From shedding tears to shedding things I can't forget
Yeah,
If I make it into heaven
And it pays to be a saint
I hope to hell that you'll be there
(You'll be there)
(You'll be there)
I've been trying to find the reasons
For the heartache in my chest,
The part you cut out when you left
I just want to be myself again
Oh,
Be myself, be myself, be myself again
If I make it into heaven
And it pays to be a saint
I hope to hell that you'll be there
I've been trying to find the reasons
For the heartache in my chest,
The part you cut out when you left
I just want to be myself again
Be myself, be myself, be myself again
(You'll be there)
(You'll be there)
(You'll be there)
(You'll be there)
If I make it into heaven
And it pays to be a saint
I hope to hell that you'll be there
I just want to be myself again
