You Came So Close by Andrew Peterson Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
And I remember the tremble
In the words you spoke
As you balanced there on the brink
At the end of your rope

[Chorus]
You came so close to letting go

[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
You came so close to letting go

[Bridge]
So don't let go, 'cause you never know
Don't let go, you never know for sure

[Verse 5]
And the sky in Nashville
It can bend you low
'Cause the winter here is gray
Without a trace of snow

[Verse 6]
But there is no shadow
On the silver stars
And the colder the night is
The closer the heavens are

[Outro]
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
