Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Cold
Lying in my bed
Staring into darkness
Lost
I hear footsteps overhead
And my thoughts return again
[Verse 2]
Like a child who's run away
And won't be coming back
Time keeps passing by
As night turns into day
[Verse 3]
I'm so far away
And so alone
I need to see your face
To keep me sane
To make we whole
[Verse 4]
Try to stay alive
Until I hear your voice
I'm gonna lose my mind
Someone tell me why
I chose this life
This superficial lie
Constant compromise
Endless sacrifice
[Verse 5]
Pain
It saddens me to know
The helplessness you feel
Your light Shines on my soul
While a thousand candles burn
[Verse 6]
Outside this barren room
The rain is pouring down
The emptiness inside
Is growing deeper still
[Verse 7]
You're so far away
And so alone
You long for love's embrace
To keep you sane
To make you whole
[Verse 8]
Try to stay alive
Until I hear your voice
I'm gonna lose my mind
Someone tell me why
I chose this life
This superficial lie
Constant compromise
Endless sacrifice
[Verse 9]
Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice
Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice
[Verse 10]
Over the distance
We try to make sense
Of surviving together
While living apart
Striving for balance
We rise to the challenge
Of staying connected
In spite of circumstance
[Verse 11]
All you've forsaken
And all that you've done
So that I could live out
This undying dream
Won't be forgotten
Or taken for granted
I'll always remember
Your endless sacrifice
[Verse 12]
Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice
Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice
