It′s dark outside,
It′s cold and empty like my mind,
But who would know,
I can′t make it right,
I know it′s on me but I can′t fight,
And i′m on my own,
And I don′t get to watch you grow, for now;
Held back away by reality,
The fact is all I know;

The footprints,
That I left,
Were meant to lead me back to home,
The distance,
Between us,
Has grown so bitter and so cold,
The permanence of silence,
Erodes them leaving just a hole;

The lights are alive,
The glare is burning in my eyes, for now,
It′s nothing like i′ve ever been,
Shown in my life, but now;

All along the path we′re taking,
Never had a chance we′re breaking,
Breaking down i′ve lost my bearings,
Bearing all the cost by missing,
Missing out on what′s worth sharing,
Leaving me with no control
