Neon lights flickering down the street
Reflecting lonely faces in the heat
I'm standing in the crowd chasing the haze
Of a wind that's gone in a distant maze
You said love is a flame a persistent glow
A chance encounter from long ago
To trade a lifetime for a love so true
But who can promise we'll make it through
We always talk about the hands of fate
A debt from a life that was born too late
We write a script of a love so deep
A half-told promise we're meant to keep
Is this helplessness I'm forced to see
I smile through the pain while you break from me
The water is spilled the bridge is burned
I watch you leave with lessons unlearned
Is this agony To fear what is lost
To crave what is gone no matter the cost
Between the gain and the hollow divide
I'm tossed by the moon and the turning tide
I asked myself what is truth without regret
To burn in this fever to never forget
To run through the wild to a ghost of a town
Not seeking a hand just to never back down
To honor the scars that are carved in my soul
Even if breaking is the price for the whole
There's a silence in watching you fade away
Knowing no words can make you stay
Like a drowning man reaching for a reed
In a desert of love I'm the one who will bleed
So this is the void the hollow release
To let go of the heart just to find some peace
Let the regret grow like weeds in the clay
In a wasteland of memories I'll wither away
Is this agony A beast in a cage
Whether we win or we turn the page
In the swirl of the world we struggle and fight
With no door to lead us out of the night
If a chance encounter won't lead to the end
If this fate is a debt that we cannot amend
Then I'll stand in the silence watching you go
