When it gets me depressed I find
|
That it's best with my chest high
|
As I stretch my lungs & express my love,
|
Hold my breath & forget my pride,
|
To reflect that the rest of our lives are a measure of time.
|
We may as well try to express some style.
|
I exhale my prayer.
|
(And) follow it with my eyes as it fills the air.
|
In the back of my mind I imagine that you can hear
|
As if you could still be near me.
|
|
But
|
Lately I've been breaking my mind,
|
Trying my best but it's taking its time.
|
Cause
|
I've been forced to digest this wasteful emptiness.
|
I'm supposed to laugh as if there's nothing going on.
|
I know life goes on regardless,
|
But nothing's been the same
|
Since you've been gone.
|
|
Another run around the sun,
|
Look at the things we've seen.
|
What have we both become?
|
What have we dreamed?
|
Who have we lost?
|
And what have we won?
|
|
I never could've believed that you wouldn't have finished what we'd begun.
|
I never dared to imagine you would've been taken away from us.
|
|
Lately I've been breaking my mind,
|
Trying my best but it's taking its time.
|
Cause
|
I've been forced to digest this wasteful emptiness.
|
I'm supposed to laugh as if there's nothing going on.
|
I know life goes on regardless,
|
But nothing's been the same
|
Since you've been gone,
|
Since you've been gone,
|
Since you've been gone.
|
|
Now times change & the game plays on,
|
And the truth remains but the rules have all gone wrong.
|
Life rises, now here we are
|
Still looking for the place where we belong.
|
Stronger than habit & fantasy,
|
Deeper than gravity.
|
What will be has to be.
|
God planned it, I understand it.
|
I hadn't imagined you'd leave me stranded
|
On this stage in these lights where I'm standing.
|
No right to complain
|
Cause it's already more than I'd ever had asked.
|
But without you
|
The best has yet to pass & now this song is about you.
|
|
And I've been forced to digest this wasteful emptiness.
|
I'm supposed to laugh as if there's nothing going on.
|
I know life goes on regardless,
|
But nothing's been the same
|
Since you've been gone,
|
Since you've been gone,
|
Since you've been gone.
