lyrics

Giving up at the sight of you makes me wonder why we even try. We sit and stare at the ground with faces turned away from the ones we love. Why do you turn away? All I do is wait because you said you’d stay. I forgot the color of your eyes, as I’m sure you’ve forgotten mine.
In the motion given to us, we stand still with the blankest faces.
We don’t know where to go. The darkest days have come, and I don’t know where the better days have gone. I can’t see in the dark. The light left the room. You took it with you. All that is will cease. All you know will cease to be. The sun fell out of the sky and the oceans tide turned on itself for the last time, because I forgot the sound of your voice. The only one I know. Don’t know it anymore. The harder we try, the wider grows the great divide. I guess it’s just the passing of time. Lack of sleep, no peace of mind. I swear, I tried. Although I walk alone, you should know, that’s when I feel at home. You lay in bed and think about who you are and what you’ve done. You sit and stare, your hands are bare because you let all the ones you cared about go. When did you become so cold?
You left me all alone but still I know, I know there’s hope for you.
When the light leaves the room, you’ll see that our true colors show.
The darkness suits you well, for I know that’s where your heart will dwell.
