I’ll stare
Into the blackness
That was once
Your smile
Left there
Faded
Dead and jaded
All the while
Remember
How you made
The world
Seem safer

BRIDGE
Please stay
I promise
I won’t say
A word

CHORUS
Now I’m praying
Stop saying
I shouldn’t care
Stop lying
I’m crying
You’re flying
No missile
Can stop you now

If I could scream
How much I miss you
It would burst my throat
I feel so guilty too
I should’ve seen you through
I’m immune
To everything
But pain now

BRIDGE

Deafened by your silence
I can’t seem
To find the words
As the birds
Are your evensong
Behind these tears
My secret fears
Of you never
Ever staying long
Moving on
Away from us

BRIDGE

CHORUS

I guess
One day we’ll meet again
But there’s a wall
Between us
If you were gonna go
Should’ve let me know
Could’ve sent you flowers
Would’ve come to see you
Now nothing can heal
The wounds
You’ve given me
Is this the way?
It’s supposed to be?
Burn a body
The soul comes free
But we’re gonna
Hold on
Can’t you see?

BRIDGE

CHORUS

Forever and ever
Burning
Like the flame
You hold
The candle
In the wind
We all
End up
The same

CHORUS

BRIDGE

CHORUS

Now you’re flying
Stopped lying
I’ll still be crying
In years to come
If you can’t stay
We’ll have it
Your way

CHORUS
