Long nights slowly drain me
Tearing my soul apart
I'm trying my best to keep the memories alive
I sit alone and hope that tomorrow will be better
But I feel you drifting further from me
And this sinking feeling continues to grow
I'm drowning in black and white
In the shame of what's been done
While the frames of our past play back in color
Can you find me before it's too late...
Before I'm suffocated by the what-ifs?
Before I sink too deeply to be saved?
I'm stuck in the days gone by
Searching for the right words to say
To repair! To declare! To redeem!
Praying for the chance to try again
To rewrite all the parts that I got wrong
To make you see that I never gave up on you
My mind runs circles around itself
Until I'm aching for a change
Breathless from the pain
Of one more day without you
I'll never rid this pain
The pain of losing you
Unless you return to me
But I'll never forget this feeling
So I never have to feel it again.
