Lyrics[]

In the darkness of my heart
Is a shadow of your face
From the deepest part of my regret
I hear the words I wish I’d said

At the dawning of the day
I can barely see the light
I make up memories in my head
They help to fill the emptiness you’ve left

I can’t drown in your tears
I won’t face your fears
I need to find my own

You’ll never see me again
I’ll be better in time
Let the waves take me under
I know I’ll survive
You’ll never see me again

At the dawning of the day
I can barely see the light
I make up memories in my head
They help to fill the emptiness you’ve left

I can’t drown in your tears
I won’t face your fears
I need to find my own

You’ll never see me again
I’ll be better in time
Let the waves take me under
I know I’ll survive

Let the floor beneath me fall
Let the sky come crashing down
Turn all my right to wrong
But after you life goes on
You’ll never see me again

I’ve been learning to live
Without you now
It’s taking all my strength
But I’m stronger now

You’ll never see me again
I’ll be better in time
Let the waves take me under
I know I’ll survive

Let the floor beneath me fall
Let the sky come crashing down
Turn all my right to wrong
But after you life goes on
You’ll never see me again

You’ll never see me again

You’ll never see me again
