Lyrics

Don't forgive me when I'm gone
Please forgive me if I was wrong
Don't forget me when I'm gone
Find the strength to carry on
Woke up this morning
With an emptiness inside my heart
That never dies
No one seems to care at all
10,000 miles away, tears in my eyes
As I fall on the broken glass
Of my hopes and my dreams
And the truth starts to unfurl
There's a darkness in my world
There's a darkness in my world (ayy-ayy, oh-oh)
52, it sure came fast
Decades seems to pass
I'm looking deep inside myself
Wonder what my life is worth
I question every move I make
My mortal sins, and life itself
As I question the hows and whys
Could we be near the end?
I'm praying for deferral
There's a darkness in my world
There's a darkness in my world
Don't forgive me when I'm gone
I wonder what my life is worth (ayy-ayy, oh-oh)
There's a darkness in my world
(Ayy-ayy, oh-oh)
(Ayy-ayy, oh-oh) there's a darkness in my world
(Ayy-ayy, oh-oh)
(Ayy-ayy, oh-oh) there's a darkness in my world
(Ayy-ayy, oh-oh)
