I couldn’t make a word

Underneath the crowd

The last time I would hear her

Say my name out loud

I couldn’t stay away

The light was almost gone

I couldn’t understand her

So I just carried on

She pushed me to the edge

Yet I was not afraid

And though I fell down blinded

I saw what she had made

She helped me through the red

And built me up so high

But I took her for granted

I chose to pass her by

I feel empty

And I know I let her down

Sometimes in the dark

I sit and close my eyes

Underneath the shadows

I can hear her cry

And if I was a man

I’d go to her and change

But a man can’t live forever

And expect to feel the same

I feel empty

And I know I let her down
