Lyrics

I can't sleep on through the night

I don't know if we'll be alright

I forget all that I know

I think you're here, but I'm on my own

Didn't I lose my way

Holding the lights

Hoping you'll come while they burn through the night

Didn't you see the fire

All that we lost

Didn't you hear me cry

Hands in the dust

I drew a map, to bring you to me

You shut your eyes and now you can't see

I walked away, but you didn't call

What if you don't love me anymore?

Didn't I lose my way

Holding the lights

Hoping you'll come while they burn through the night

Didn't you see the fire

All that we lost

Didn't you hear me cry

Hands in the dust

I know that I tried everything

But we hurled the dust, ash on the wind

Didn't I lose my way

Holding the lights

Hoping you'll come while they burn through the night

Didn't you see the fire

All that we lost

Didn't you hear me cry

Hands in the dust

Watching the walls cave in

And you're standing still

And everyone's turning in

Hands on the wheel

You had my what?

You had, my heart

And I don't wanna love you. oh ohh

... if you can't
