To Cut A Long Story Short - The Dear And Departed

All along i've tried to erase this pain

I persevere but it's always the same

Afterall

That's how i'm told you are meant to feel

But i refuse to believe this is real

Listening to the sound of surrender

So many times i'm lying awake at night

Searching your face in the pale moonlight

Vacancy is looking back with a hollow glare

I realize you were never there

Listening to the sound of surrender

Listen to the sound

I don't know where to begin

I've searched i'm digging within

All that i need is to be there standing by your side

If i could just hear you speak

I feel the tears roll down your cheek

Forever searching for a way to turn back time

Once again this pain has taken me in

With open arms and a tender kiss

All alone

I've wondered what i've done wrong to feel this way

It seems it's always the same

Listening to the sound of surrender

You're here with me your face i'll see forever

I don't know where to begin

I've searched i'm digging within

All that i need is to be there standing by your side

If i could just hear you speak

I feel the tears roll down your cheek

Forever searching for a way to turn back time

Turn back time i'm longing for a way to be by your side

I wish i could begin to cleanse myself of sin

And finally walk away from this pain that's always in my life

I don't know where to begin

I've searched i'm digging within

All that i need is to be there standing by your side

If i could just hear you speak

I feel the tears roll down your cheek

Forever searching for a way to turn back time
