The sadness has killed the light
That once lived in your eyes
Resentment has taken hold
The hatred wells up inside
Trading shattered dreams
For a broken heart
Now the best laid plans
At the seams come apart
All the seeds that were sewn
Become stillbirth at best
Can there be no relief
Besides the illusion of death
Could I polish your heart
With the grace I have left
Please open your eyes
Before your light has set

The sadness has killed the light
That once lived in your eyes
Resentment has taken hold
The hatred wells up inside
Trading shattered dreams
For a broken heart
Now the best laid plans
At the seams come apart
All the seeds that were sewn
Become stillbirth at best
Can there be no relief
Besides the illusion of death
Could I polish your heart
With the grace I have left
Please open your eyes
Before your light has set
