tonight i'm the shadow that falls away from your feet
as you walk away through the wet city streets
you cry to yourself as i remember
you always loved to dance in the rain

tonight i'm the sunset that fades away from your eyes
as you turn away under dim city lights
you smile at yourself as i remember
you always saw yourself as a star

i turn away from my window and back to the fire
i can't watch you this way anymore
i turn on the radio and the songs remind me
the things i've felt for you before

i turn away from the songs that echo in my dreams
i can't listen to them anymore
i turn on my TV and the stars remind me
the lights you've shone on me before

tonight i'm the angel that falls away from your grace
as we're letting go of the dreams we embraced
your prayer to yourself helps me remember
you always were the one i believed

tonight i'm the wet fog that fades away from your lips
as we're letting go of the warmth in our kiss
your song to yourself helps me remember
you always could leave me speechless

i turn away from memories and back to my life
i can't live quite this way anymore
i turn down the hallway and pictures remind me
the one who told me this before

i turn away from the halls that echo our footsteps
i can't listen to them anymore
i turn myself to bed and these blankets remind me
the times you'd comfort me before

tonight i'm smiles i'm rain and tears again
i'm all the times that we'd pretend
tonight i'm hunger thirst and sleep again
i'm every time that we'd give in

and i keep falling

tonight i'm the whisper that falls away from your face
as you find yourself in the lock on your gate
you swear to yourself as i remember
you always liked to keep people out

tonight i'm the message thats waiting for your call
as you throw your coat on hard wooden floors
tonight i'm the reason that fades away from your heart
as you call me up and you ask for more

and i keep falling

i turn away from my bed and i hear the phone
no one calls me this late anymore
i turn down the hallway and each ring reminds me
of a joyful hope we shared before

but i keep falling

i turn away from the phone that echoes our regrets
i can't hear it ringing anymore
i fall to the ground and your trembling words remind me
why i felt so much for you before

(instrumental)

tonight i'm the regret thats running to your gate
as you throw down your hope for better days
you cry by yourself as i remember
you always hated to be alone

tonight i'm the last breath that fades away from my feet
as the rain comes so strongly now i fall to my knees
so close yet so far and i remember
i always was at a loss for words

you turn away from the phone and you feel my despair
you can't see me like this anymore
you reach out your hand and your softness reminds me
of the warmth i held onto before

tonight i'm smiles i'm rain and tears again
i'm all the times that we'd pretend
tonight i'm hunger thirst and sleep again
i'm every time that we'd give in

and this will be the last time tonight this is over
we won't play these old games anymore
you turn down the lights and this darkness reminds me
of all the times we've said that before

and this will be the last night that echoes our regrets
we won't listen to them anymore
you turn down the lights and this sunrise reminds me
of all the times we've said that before
