It's dark outside
It's cold and empty like my mind
But who would know
I can't make it right
I know it's on me but I can't fight
And i'm on my own
And I don't get to watch you grow, for now
Held back away by reality
The fact is all I know

The footprints
That I left
Were meant to lead me back to home
The distance
Between us
Has grown so bitter and so cold
The permanence of silence
Erodes them leaving just a hole

The lights are alive
The glare is burning in my eyes, for now
It's nothing like i've ever been
Shown in my life, but now

All along the path we're taking
Never had a chance we're breaking
Breaking down i've lost my bearings
Bearing all the cost by missing
Missing out on what's worth sharing
Leaving me with no control
