[Verse 1]
Cold, lying in my bed
Staring into darkness
Lost, I hear footsteps overhead
And my thoughts return again
Like a child who's run away
And won't be coming back
Time keeps passing by
As night turns into day
[Refrain]
I'm so far away
And so alone
I need to see your face
To keep me sane, to make me whole
[Pre-Chorus]
Try to stay alive, until I hear your voice
I'm gonna lose my mind, someone tell me why
I chose this life, this superficial lie
Constant compromise, endless sacrifice
[Verse 2]
Pain, it saddens me to know
The helplessness you feel
Your light shines on my soul
While a thousand candles burn
Outside this barren room
The rain is pouring down
The emptiness inside
Is growing deeper still
[Refrain]
You're so far away
And so alone
You long for love's embrace
To keep you sane, to make you whole
[Pre-Chorus]
Try to stay alive, until I hear your voice
I'm gonna lose my mind, someone tell me why
I chose this life, this superficial lie
Constant compromise, endless sacrifice
[Chorus]
Moments wasted, isolated
Time escaping, endless sacrifice
Moments wasted, isolated
Time escaping, endless sacrifice
[Instrumental Break]

[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
Over the distance, we try to make sense
Of surviving together, while living apart
Striving for balance, we rise to the challenge
Of staying connected in spite of circumstance
All you've forsaken and all that you've done
So that I could live out this undying dream
Won't be forgotten, or taken for granted
I'll always remember your endless sacrifice
[Chorus]
Moments wasted, isolated
Time escaping, endless sacrifice
Moments wasted, isolated
Time escaping, endless sacrifice
