I remember when you were spring in my arms
When we were close we knew why our eyes came together
But what was shelter for my soul fell to my bare feet
The nails dug into my heart and so did the stormy weather

What was once a free life is now a guilty existence
You said look into my heart and I’m trying to think that way
I thought I would know by now how to feel about love
But there is a shadow made without light that won’t go away

Why are we wasting away
We can’t sleep
We are so suspicious
All we do is weep
We can’t make a life
Our sadness is too deep
I need a reason for me to stay

I can’t beg or be angry any more than you can my love
The rest of the world can’t see inside our closed windows
We need to find out how much we want for our own life
We can hurt each other or try to make light without shadows

I always was the lucky one
You said I had a guardian angel
But what I thought was a cool breeze
Was only her flying away

Why are we wasting away
We can’t sleep
We are so suspicious
All we do is weep
We can’t make a life
Our sadness is so deep
Give me a reason to stay
