lyrics

Mercy holds the night like a child
Streaking sunlight from a wink and a smile
And the softness of your memory is blowing my mind
Like the coldness of the goodbye you’re hiding behind tonight

Drowning my soul with the blink of an eye
Still the world with a softly held sigh
Now I’m not looking for the right words to say
And I don’t expect things to turn out my way tonight

And the river won’t run and the sun it won’t set
Stars wouldn’t shine without you I bet
Lord knows that I don’t want to be here like this tonight

The pain and the sadness just keeps getting worse
Loneliness won’t kill you but you goddamn it hurts
And I feel like I did everything I could
Loneliness won’t kill me
I just wish that it would tonight
