If you take my heart
Don’t leave the smallest part
I’ve no need to live
If you’re to come up gone

As my life turns to a song
And if and when I treat you wrong
No I never want to hurt
Our family

I would give up everything
No this is not just about me
And I don’t know a plainer way
To say it Babe

And they may pay us off in fame
Thought that is not why we came
And I know well and good
That won’t heal our hearts

We came for salvation
We came for family
We came for all that’s good
That’s how we’ll walk away

We came to break the bad
We came to cheer the sad
We came to leave behind
The world a better way

Now if I’m walking through the rain
And I hear you call me name
I will break into a run
Without a pause

And if your love laughs at your dreams
It’s not as bad as it seems
Either way
One of them has got to go

And if you take of my soul
You can still leave it whole
With the pieces of you own
You leave behind

We came for salvation
We came for family
We came for all that’s good
That’s how we’ll walk away

We came to break the bad
We came to cheer the sad
We came to leave behind
The world a better way

I would give up everything
If you were to come up clean
And see you shine so bright
In a world of woe

And they may pay us off in fame
But that is not why we came
And if it compromises truth
Then we will go

We came for salvation
We came for family
We came for all that’s good
That’s how we’ll walk away

We came to break the bad
We came to cheer the sad
We came to leave behind
The world a better way
