Lyrics

When it gets me depressed I find

That it's best with my chest high

As I stretch my lungs & express my love,

Hold my breath & forget my pride,

To reflect that the rest of our lives are a measure of time.

We may as well try to express some style.

I exhale my prayer.

And follow it with my eyes as it fills the air.

In the back of my mind I imagine that you can hear

As if you could still be near me.

But

Lately I've been breaking my mind,

Trying my best but it's taking its time.

Cause

I've been forced to digest this wasteful emptiness.

I'm supposed to laugh as if there's nothing going on.

I know life goes on regardless,

But nothing's been the same

Since you've been gone.

Another run around the sun,

Look at the things we've seen.

What have we both become?

What have we dreamed?

Who have we lost?

And what have we won?

I never could've believed that you wouldn't have finished what we'd begun.

I never cared to image you could've have taken away from us.

Lately I've been breaking my mind,

Trying my best but it's taking its time.

Cause

I've been forced to digest this wasteful emptiness.

I'm supposed to laugh as if there's nothing going on.

I know life goes on regardless,

But nothing's been the same

Since you've been gone,

Since you've been gone,

Since you've been gone.

Now times change & the game plays on,

And the truth remains but the rules have all gone wrong.

Life rises, now here we are

Still looking for the place where we belong.

Stronger than habit & fantasy,

Deeper than gravity.

What will be has to be.

God damn it, I understand it.

I hadn't imagined you'd leave me stranded

On this stage in these lights where I'm standing.

No right to complain

Cause it's already more than I'd ever had asked.

But without you

The best has yet to pass & now this song is about you.

And I've been forced to digest this wasteful emptiness.

I'm supposed to laugh as if there's nothing going on.

I know life goes on regardless,

But nothing's been the same

Since you've been gone,

Since you've been gone,

Since you've been gone.
