I close my eyes
As you turn away
You don't love me 
What's left to say
Don't pretend
Just let me go
I'll make my way
Now that I know

You let me believe
And now that you're gone
I'm telling myself
I'm better off alone
I still feel your breath
Soft on my skin
I will not cry
Darkness closes in

I can run...
Can I hide from the past
The magic is gone
Does nothing ever last
The shadows descend
In the still of the night
This isn't my war
I don't know how to fight

When did you know
When was it clear
I just need to know
The shadows are near
The memories haunt me
Will my soul be free
I'm losing control
I have to get away from me

A pale quiet dawn 
The early morning light
Breaks through the darkness
Surrender the night
How will I face it
And find my way through
When every road
Leads me back to you

Fragile as glass
An endless goodbye
My heart missing you
Misty morning light
The empty ache
No whispered hello
I just close my eyes
Please don't let me go
