The days are gone when I craved so much
And feelings of black hearted lonely nights
Where a bleeding heart just bled me dry
Now I'm...
Taking the subway on a journey's plight
Humming a tuneless symphony
An empty reminder of who I was
A silent expression that holds no grace
And no more saying I love you too
Meaningless words that have no hold
The balance is shifting, it's turning about
Reflections of how we might have been
My days were once filled with open despair
At night hidden in the shadows that gathered there
A congregation that silently charted my every move
Still no more saying I love you too
Meaningless words that have no hold
The balance is shifting, it's turning about
Reflections of how we might have been
Most people just simply turn away
They have their own madness in tow behind
Along with their other insecurities
Like weights on a chain that keep dragging them down
Still no more saying I love you too
Meaningless words that have no hold
The balance is shifting, it's turning about
Reflections of how we might have been
