it is time for one of us to stand like we said we would

Lost myself in an endless goodnight
Kept the time by the patterns of the streetlight
Couldn't get it right
I could never get it right
Sadly, this is a wasted conversation
Lost on you, lost on you
This is a test of my patience
Your blue eyes are so cruel
I can't escape all the things we said
I'm taking years off my life with the weight of regret
Now there's nothing left
There is nothing left to lose

Shouldn't I feel alive?
I swear that I tried
To be alright
To sleep at night
Shouldn't I feel alive?

The night fades with a breath of sunshine
I'll do my best to adjust to the morning light
I cant keep my place
Feels like I've been awake for days
Sadly, you turn away and now I'm faced
With the harsh truth, the harsh truth
My cold heart is a place where true love cannot bloom

Shouldn't I feel alive?
I swear that I tried
To be alright
To sleep at night
Shouldn't I feel alive?

There's static on the airwaves
I'll try to find the light through all this haze
I can't find the words that I'm trying to say
So try to forget me as I walk away

Shouldn't I feel alive?
I swear that I tried
To be alright
To sleep at night

Shouldn't I feel alive?
I swear that I tried
To be alright
To sleep at night
Shouldn't I feel alive?

I know exactly how you feel
you were this close to closing deals
when everything fell from out your hands
you were forced to decide on other plans now
you figured it best to just ignore it
otherwise you're only living for it
and if anyone ever wondered why you did it
you'd swear they never knew you sold your soul to the
burning, burning, burning, burning bridges

you know exactly what I want so
I don't have to be so damn upfront
no matter the moment we decide to make our minds up
I know a man who may need a new assignment
to hand in his heart and take his last vacation
attempting to spoil imagination
if anyone ever wonders where he went
I wouldn't say that he spent his time driving over
burning, burning, burning bridges

burning, burning which is
nothing more than a longing for being uninvolved
uninvolved
uninvolved
uninvolved

oh, desire can cause heart attacks
oh, desire can cause heart attacks
oh, desire can cause heart attacks
oh, desire, it won't bring you back

The empire will fall like they planned on
Can we even last through the night?
We watch as the skyscrapers crumble
Under the burning blue sky
That blinds our eyes

This is our last chance
To make things right
A world lost forever
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight

Let's try to find a place to sleep
It's going on days that we've been awake
A sadness that I've never seen
I said your name and you looked the other way

Because these are my last words
And this is my last breath
I'd give you everything
If there was something left
I have nothing left to prove
And I will live with my regrets
I'd give you everything
If there was something left


The disconnecting count of days
Are fading away, the lives that we made
Tear drops will spill from your blue eyes
Intentions were wrong, I apologize
The empire is falling
Like they planned on and we lost it all
The city sleeps in flames

Lost...
Time...
Everything's gonna be fine. Right?
Everything's gonna be fine. Right?
Everything's gonna be fine. Right?
I can't find a way to live in this life

The empire will fall like they planned on
Can we even last through the night
We watch as the skyscrapers crumble
Under the burning blue sky
That blinds our eyes

Because these are my last words
And this is my last breath
I'd give you everything
If there was something left
I've got nothing left to prove
And I will live with my regrets
I'd give you everything
If there was something left

Because these are my last words
And this is my last breath
I'd give you everything
But I've got nothing left

I live my life in the shadows
Of the things i try to hide

Oh my god there must be something
Something to take the pain away
And so there's nothing you can give me
It's probably better off that way
