lyrics

A mirror hangs on a distant wall
and I find myself staring again.
Where have you gone, oh my empty shell?
A motel sign screams: Free Vacancy.
It’s been eight weeks, on my own,
I left to settle, ambitious dreams,
I had these thoughts, I had this view,
of living a life without you.
I keep looking for you,
cause someday we can’t come home.

I’ve spent hours trying to make sense
of the losses of my life.
Why’d you have to leave?
How am I to carry this overwhelming burden?
Tell me will I get through this,
or should I give up and walk away,
without the resolve to fulfill my own purpose?

The visions about to break,
black skies will loom and sink.
Rethink!
You can’t turn back when you’re never gunna let it go.
Here I stand to face myself,
place my hands where you have felt.
Inside, you’re a one shot deal
with a trigger fingered state of mind.
It’s high rate, I’m so fake, I’m losing control,
It’s taking a toll on myself.

Woke up this morning, I feel so alive,
so tell me darling, have I gone wrong?

Untie me, Lord, this can’t be for real.
I can’t see you. I can’t be you.
As I retrace my steps to the place where I first fell short,
I find the only thing missing from me, was you.
Scratching at the walls, desperation calls,
broken glass and a cry for understanding.
I couldn’t find a way, you just walked away,
I couldn’t find a way!
Room 302, I felt you passing through,
the scattered pieces of a chance I left for you.
I couldn’t find a way, you just walked away,
I couldn’t find a way!
I say this for you, don’t you dare walk away.
Step inside, these cries were meant for you,
these eyes were meant for you!
