I talk to your ghost, even though you're not dead;
Because you're never really there.

I lay on your pillow, but I still feel alone;
Because you're never really there.

The stars will not let me forget that I miss you.

The stubborn ones shine brighter than before as if to intimidate me.

I sit and wish you're staring at the same ones I am.

And I sip a little hope from my glass.

Because the stars will not let me forget that I miss you.
How do you reconnect with someone you left behind?

I cried while driving today;

A heartfelt sob that not even the gentle purr of the engine could stop.
My heart sunk back into the driving seat.
My eyes filled with tears that the wippers couldn't wipe away.
My happy persona was left behind in the dust.
I was alone, free to be depressed.
Not even the street lights could brighten up my night.
Although, I felt like this was needed.

You think you're so clever, Because nobody has ever, Shut you down.

But I can see through this smoke, you think I didn't notice your,
Eyes turn away.

The lights are always shinning, revealing where you're hiding. There's no escape.

Lost in the tyrants, I'm just speaking my mind but, You threw me away.

Another sleepless night in front of me,
Another empty show of sympathy,
I remember when the stars shun so brightly,
Now an empty glass of memories,

My love, I've been looking, for something to blame this on.
But I'm conflicted;

Do I blame my heart, my soul, or the world for what you did.
Do I blame my love, blame it on us, or the world for what you did.
When you've lost yourself in the relationship. Who do you blame?

Don't add my imperfections to the war that you're waging.
Playing with fire will burn us both.
Show me that you're better than I am.
Instead of walking in holes already made by my demeanor.

Acting innocent will get you killed.
Stabbed by the truth and buried with your lies.
Show me that you're better than I am.
Denial can be powerful but leave you powerless in the end.

If you want the war to end.
Stop feeding the hungry media.
Show me that you're better than I am.
Stop spreading your re-used propaganda.

Trying to turn the world against me.
But the world is round.
I'll have them chase me all the way around.
And lead them straight back at your feet.

We walk together, through the broken nights
Come out in different streets, under different lights
I'm all for loving, let the love ignite
What do we do when the candle stops burning bright?

Do we let go or do we hold on, my love.
Do we give up or stick to this love, my friend.
See the tears in my eyes, as I turn to stone.
What do we do when the candle stops burning bright?
