I turn up my speakers
So I can drown my thoughts
Just a little bit quicker
Dancing barefoot in the dead of winter
So I can numb this heart
That's full of splinters
They say time heals
All wounds but these clocks are
At a standstill
And I'm counting every second
That you're not here
But only in my dreams do you appear
Am I allowed to lay down my smile
And be bitter just for a while?
Don't keep pulling me under
We were meant to stay afloat
I see all the embers
They've not yet lost all their glow
Could you try to take a look into my eyes
And tell me why oh why why why?
Why oh why why why?
Why oh why?
I close all the windows
Draw the curtains hoping that the sun knows
All I see is you when the day glows
Reminding me that you are just a shadow
When I wake
For a split second in time
My heart does not ache
Thinking you'll be next to me then I shake
To see an empty bed and all over I brake
Am I allowed to lay down my smile
And be bitter just for a while?
Don't keep pulling me under
We were meant to stay afloat
I see all the embers
They've not yet lost all their glow
Could you try to take a look into my eyes
And tell me why oh why why why?
I should have known
When you were grinding your teeth
(I should have known)
That you were hiding
Your feelings from me oh
I should have known
When you were tossing in your sleep
(I should have known)
That you were hiding your feelings from me
Don't keep pulling me under
We were meant to stay afloat
I see the embers
They've not yet lost all their glow
Could you try to take a look into my eyes
And tell me why oh why why why?
Don't keep pulling me under
We were meant to stay afloat
I see all the embers
They've not yet lost all their glow
Could you try to take a look into my eyes
And tell me why oh why why why?
Why oh why why why?
Why oh why why why?
Why oh why why why?
Why oh why why why?
