You’re half a world away
And I miss you every day
And I’ve never seen your face
But I love you anyway

If I could look into your eyes
I would never say goodbye
Take my hand and you’ll see
How wonderful we’ll be
I know it’s rather strange
But I’d never want to change
Just know, I’d never let you go

My heart is torn asunder
I lie awake and wonder
If I could show you how I feel
See if this is real
If I could look into your eyes
I would never say goodbye
Take my hand and you’ll see
How wonderful we’ll be
I know it’s rather strange
But I’d never want to change
Just know, I’d never let you go

I’d never let you go
I love you anyway

I ripped my love for you from my heart
With a hoodoo doll
I couldn’t take no more of this
Waiting for a fall
And so I let you go
And so I bid you farewell

You see I can’t trust you
Cause I can’t trust me
Not to fall in love with you
Completely
And so I cut you out of my heart
And set you to the side to view from afar

Now you’re safe and sound inside my guitar
So I can hear your love echo through the stars
And now I will be free
Now your love doesn’t live in me

I ripped my love for you from my heart
With a hoodoo doll
I couldn’t take no more of this
Waiting for a fall

Pop your pills and run away
Hide your face inside your shame
Drink your whiskey all **** day
Anything to hide the pain

It doesn’t matter what it costs
Count your sins and cut your loss
You never saw another way
Another day, you’ll never change

You watched the sun fall to the west
Your empty tears held no regrets
Eyes alight you took your final breath
The sun has set and now you’re gone

You popped your pills and ran away
Hid your face within your shame
Drinking whiskey all **** day
Anything to hide the pain
Anything to run away

I can't deal with it
I've fallen from the abyss
I will wait for you
to watch me drown again

I am fading and I cannot scream
Push me down, make me your slave
I am dying inside my own dreams
Give me a shovel to dig my own grave

I can't deal with it
You pushed me too far down
I won't wait for you
To bury me in the ground

I'm a silhouette, a forgotten face
Let me go into the night
What will it take to keep me alive
I'm beneath you and I cannot fight

That's what you've always told me
I can't deal with it, watch me fade away
Push me down, make me your slave
Give me a shovel, I'll dig my own grave

While you watch
While you watch
While you watch
Me fade

Distracted by every syallable that was exhaled
unable to recall
the curve of your lips as they spoke
nor the hue of your eyes when they laughed
my only recollection is
the duo took my breath away
obliterating all lights but the stars
leaving me with amnesia

electrifying finger tips
of a ghost running down a shattered spine
an iris in a black hole
a smile that rips together a soul
the dilapidated frames of a broken home
scream for your sunlight
which stuns lightning bolts
and silences thunder claps

If I could go just one day without missing you I'd forget the pain
If I could go one moment not loving you then I might be free
If only I'd stop this dreaming I could break away from these chains
If I had a ******* bit of sense I would turn my back and flee

your soul is the thunder that lightning never heard
I know my behavior may seem somewhat absurd
but your eyes wont let me go no you wont let me go
I am tethered to this purgatory I cannot tell you no

If you would spend just one day trusting me we might not be afraid
Just take one moment to face me we might not be mislead
I want to walk into the light before I fade
I'm stuck inside some sick nightmare playing in my head

your soul is the thunder that lightning never heard
I know my behavior may seem somewhat absurd
but your eyes wont let me go no you wont let me go
I am tethered to this purgatory I cannot tell you no

I do I don't want to miss you...I cannot forget
I only wanted to love you..break these chains from me
