The Dying

Endless lies
Dreams that flicker like the dying light
I don't understand myself any more
Chosen words
Careful not to hit you where it hurts
Can't forgive myself this time
As I come crashing to the floor

Hopeful eyes
Looking for a way to get inside
I've turned away for far too long
Open arms
Love you gave me helped to keep me strong
Don't know what you've got till it's gone
Regret I never told you

You are my light
Are you here?
You are my light
Are you near?

All these things I kept inside
I pushed you away, afraid of life
I never meant to let you go
Leave you broken and all alone
Hear me when I say these words
You'll always be my only thoughts
I need you here with me tonight
To cover me with your dying light
