Oh, you don’t know
How vacancy stings, so cruel though disguised
Always a fight
One day I’m building up this dam
The next it’s broken down by spite
I want the light
I’m so sick of sadness
I wanna leave this behind
Make this right
Should, have taken note
Closed my eyes to all these signs, could have saved heart ache and time
Illusion so blind
You’re still chasing some old dream
No one fit but silver screen
I want the light
I’m so sick of sadness
I wanna leave this behind
Make this right
