lyrics

I can’t find the switch
No footsteps in the distance
How can my eyes adjust to this
I’ve run out of patience

It went away too soon
All I have left are shadows
And I fear what remains of you
Will disappear where I cannot follow

I can’t go back
Without you, it’s not home
I can’t go back
But I’ll go forward alone

Are we still family
With so many missing pieces
When all that’s left of me
Are keys to empty houses

It went away too soon
I felt you slip through my fingers
And now I only have the moon
To promise the pain won’t linger

I can’t go back
To a place with no more flowers
I can’t go back
But I can look forward and I’m sure
I can’t go back

It went away too soon
But it won’t all be sorrow
All that’s left of you
Is enough light for tomorrow
