IN THE DARK Lyrics

Every time

That I hear that I see that I feel you

I'm reminded that I couldn't heal you

A painful void is left behind

Once a year

For a week or a day or a moment

We are torn, we are one, this is torment

For the first time now I understand

Why you're again, in my head

And I still feel guilty

For letting you suffer so long

As I tried to save you

Laying in the dark

You were drowning

And your eyes without a spark

Of life

The next day

They were laughing, joking and talking

Blaming me and I can't take the mocking

Made up stories poisoning your mind

I reach out

Hear my thoughts and my words I am honest

I can't have this being demolished

Want to release you from your grieving

It's been going on, for too long

As I tried to save you

Laying in the dark

You were drowning

And your eyes without a spark

I had to hold you

Standing at the dawn

You're not breathing

As the storm is closing in

If I told you now

After all these years

Will it bring you closure

Or open up our wounds

Year after year

It still stands between us

Now I'm writing this letter

That you'll never get

This is our last chapter

That I can't forget

As I tried to save you

Laying in the dark

You were drowning

And your eyes without a spark

What you've thought you went through

Was stabbing us both in the heart

I still hear the lies

And it has torn us apart
