[Verse 1]

Hearts stay broken

Wounds won't mend

My neglect lost my only friend

Shadows cast

I thought wouldn't last

But I realized at the end

[PreChorus]

That the time I spent without you here

Was worthless

Oh, If I'd just tried to face my fears

Maybe this would hurt less

[Chorus]

But now, for a thousand years

I'll be dealing with results of my actions

My actions

If I'd just looked beyond myself

I'd avoid all of this backlash

This backlash

If I'd just tried once in my life

To help you through the nightmare

The nightmare

Maybe I'd still hear your laugh

Maybe I'd avoid this backlash

This backlash

[Verse 2]

Dark times here

I hope you'll be back soon

I can barely stand to see the moon

Outward peace is what my people see

But my throne Is my own tomb

[PreChorus]

That the time I spent without you here

Was worthless

Oh, If I'd just tried to face my fears

Maybe this would hurt less

[Chorus]

But now, for a thousand years

I'll be dealing with results of my actions

My actions

If I'd just looked beyond myself

I'd avoid all of this backlash

This backlash

If I'd just tried once in my life

To help you through the nightmare

The nightmare

Maybe I'd still hear your laugh

Maybe I'd avoid this backlash

This backlash

[Bridge]

My only hope

Rests in finding someone to pick me up where I fell down

Because through the smoke

She'll unite the ones we need

For you to be free from nightmare's crown

[Chorus]

But now, for a thousand years

I'll be dealing with results of my actions

My actions

If I'd just looked beyond myself

I'd avoid all of this backlash

This backlash

If I'd just tried once in my life

To help you through the nightmare

The nightmare

Maybe I'd still hear your laugh

Maybe I'd avoid this backlash

This backlash
