Lyrics

Toxicity slipping to my bloodstream
I give too much, you suck the life out of me
I fill my cup to drink you into someone else
And I blame myself
And I had a dream that we were perfect for each other
Sunset, driving through the suburbs
But we go no further
And I hear a voice
And it says to me
When did you lose the light behind your eyes?
Tell me why
When there's no more tears to cry
Are you holding onto love for life?
I think it's time to let it die (Let it die, let it die, let it die, let it die)
If you lose yourself
You can walk away (I think it's time)
When did you lose the light behind your eyes? (Behind your eyes)
Tell me why
When there's no more tears to cry
Are you holding onto love for life?
I think it's time to let it die
Not high for this, your heart has reached its limit
A counterfeit and now the lights are dimming
I won't go back spinning around under your spell
On a carousel, oh
I had a dream we were a beautiful endeavour
Sunset, driving through the suburbs
But we go no further
Then I hear a voice
And it's asking me
When did you lose the light behind your eyes? (Behind your eyes)
Tell me why
When there's no more tears to cry
Are you holding onto love for life?
I think it's time to let it die (Let it die, let it die, let it die, let it die)
If you lose yourself
You can walk away
When did you lose the light behind your eyes? (Behind your eyes)
Tell me why
When there's no more tears to cry
Are you holding onto love for life?
I think it's time to let it die
