You're not around; it's time to move on.
Yet I have no idea of what's really going on.
I want to escape, I need to get away,
but with you I seem to stay.
I can't see forward, I only see black,
And there's no way I'm ever going back.
Will someone help me find where I need to go?
Will someone help me learn the words to say no?
I'm trying to run, but there's nowhere to go.
I'm trapped in my own prison, and I'm screaming
no.
How did I let you trap me?
How did I let you get the best of me?
I scream and I cry and I wonder why,
But for the first time I don't want to die.
You made me feel almost alive.
I understand why you left, but why can't you call?
Right now it seems as though you don't care at all.
I just want to forget about you,
but you were the only one that I ever knew.
So I need to start over and find a new place,
but I can't get away and I'm haunted by your face.
And so I cry silent tears at night,
Uncertain if I'll ever really be all right.
Who knew I'd give up control?
Who knew I'd let you steal my soul?
Who knows if I'll get rid of this pain?
I never thought I'd lose at this game.
But don't we all lose when the timing is right?
Isn't that why we're all scared of the night?
