I Stood Still

And time moves too slow under fire when the stakes are low
Duck and cover to shield your pride
We were under fire, but I didn't hide

You stepped back and I stood still
After all this time and I'm still here
Standing all alone up on the hill
Where you stepped back, and I stood still for you

And love doesn't mean a thing if you run when the gunshots ring
Being brave isn't saving face
Being brave is staying in place but

You stepped back and I stood still
After all this time and I'm still here
Standing all alone up on the hill
Where you stepped back, and I stood still for you

I stood still, I was a wall determined not to fall but

You stepped back and I stood still
After all this time and I'm still here
Standing all alone up on the hill
Where you stepped back, and I stood still for you

And time moves too fast in the silence when the stakes are vast
It's finally peaceful up on the hill
Where you stepped back, and I stood still for you
