You’ve pulled yourself away
The distance between us
Filling with emptiness everyday
Into the shadows you fade
Stretched to my breaking point
I can’t follow you down
I must let you go, my light is running out
I wish you would’ve just turned around
You meant so much to me

To the darkness I have lost you
Into emptiness I must let you go
You hear no good and see no light
You barely put up a fight

I stuck it out for as long as I could
Down this path, you knew I would
I can’t believe the day has arrived
I never thought I’d leave your side
But in many ways you have left mine

Slowly I saw you fade
I don’t know why you turned this way
I saw your light turn to gray
In complete uncertainty, what should I say?
I wish I wouldn’t of let you sink so low
It’s to late now your one with your shadow

So lonely as I walk back into the light
So comforting when the day turns to night
  The shade is so soothing even in the cold
I see this path starting to unfold
I need you; I’m unable to fight this alone
I turn and run into the emptiness, the dark you call home
