Hear the clock tickin' on the wall

Losin' sleep, losin' track of the tears I cry

Every drop is a waterfall

Every breath is a break in the riptide

Oh, how long has it been? I don't know

But it feels like an eternity

Since I had you here with me

Since I had to learn to be

Someone you don't know

To be with you in paradise

What I wouldn't sacrifice

Why'd you have to chase the light

Somewhere I can't go?

As I walk this world alone

As I walk this world alone

Another glimpse of what could've been (ooh)

Another dream of the way that it never was

Fallin' back in the wilderness (ooh)

Wakin' up, rubbin' salt in the cut

Oh, how long has it been? I don't know

But it feels like an eternity

Since I had you here with me

Since I had to learn to be

Someone you don't know

To be with you in paradise

What I wouldn't sacrifice

Why'd you have to chase the light

Somewhere I can't go?

As I walk this world alone (alone, alone)

As I walk this world alone (alone, alone)

It's an endless night, it's a starless sky

It's a hell that I call home (hell that I call home)

It's a long goodbye on the other side

Of the only life I know

And it feels like an eternity

Since I had you here with me

Since I had to learn to be

Someone you don't know (oh)

To be with you in paradise

What I wouldn't sacrifice

Why'd you have to chase the light

Somewhere I can't go?

As I walk this world alone

As I walk this world alone
