WITHOUT YOUR LIGHT

[Intro]

Yeah...
Another night...
Another empty room...
I thought time would make it easier...
Guess I was wrong...

[Verse 1]

I've been walking through the city lights,
Trying to lose what's on my mind.
Everybody's moving on,
But somehow I'm still frozen in time.

I changed my number,
Moved across town.
Still hear your voice
Whenever the sun goes down.

Every little place we used to know
Feels like it's waiting for us both.
I smile outside,
But nobody knows...

[Pre-Chorus]

How do I breathe
When every breath reminds me?
How do I sleep
When every dream still finds me?

[Chorus]

I'm still holding on
To a love that's already gone.
Every song I hear
Brings your memory near.

I keep searching through the dark,
Trying to find where we fell apart.
Without your light,
Nothing feels right...
Nothing feels right...

[Verse 2]

Your side of the bed
Still stays untouched.
Funny how silence
Can say so much.

I tell myself
I'll be okay.
But every tomorrow
Feels just like yesterday.

The pictures fade,
The pain remains.
No matter how hard I try,
Nothing ever really changed.

[Pre-Chorus]

If I could turn
The hands of time,
I'd never let your hand leave mine.

[Chorus]

I'm still holding on
To a love that's already gone.
Every song I hear
Brings your memory near.

I keep searching through the dark,
Trying to find where we fell apart.
Without your light,
Nothing feels right...
Nothing feels right...

[Bridge]

Maybe one day
This heart will finally heal.
Maybe one day
The scars won't feel so real.

But tonight...
Your shadow dances through this room,
Like you never really left.

[Final Chorus]

I'm still holding on
Even though the night's so long.
Every beat inside
Still calls your name tonight.

If loving you
Was all I ever knew,
Then tell me how
I'm supposed to start again.

Without your light...
I'm just surviving...
Without your light...
I'm barely alive...

[Outro]

Maybe tomorrow...
I'll finally let you go...
But not tonight...
Not tonight...
