Testing, testing, one-two-three

you wanted us to be a lighthouse, 
but how will any ships be able to see,
if you just walked out on me,
TESTING TESTING one two three
what is the purpose of this one, this time?

the storm door is flung open wide,
and once it shuts it's over
the cold sea air is bringing chills down my spine,
and all i can see is the staircase i have to face alone again

TESTING TESTING one two three
is there anybody out there,
is there anything for me?
TESTING TESTING one two three
when the storm rolls in,
they always leave.
TESTING TESTING one two three
the tide is rising higher,
and the day is growing bleak,
TESTING TESTING one two three
by this time the sun is set,
and i can get these broken promises outta my head.

but i'll climb those stairs on my own,
with the candle burning bright,
cause who's gonna do it when they're said and gone
i'll point the light to those darkened seas,
i'll give up a life of love, so others can see,
testing testing one two three,
all i hope for is the strength that will carry me.
