when it gets me depressed i find that it s best with my chest high as i stretch my lungs express my love hold my breath forget my pride to reflect that the rest of our lives are a measure of time we may as well try to express some style i exhale my prayer follow it with my eyes as it fills the air in the back of my mind i imagine that you can hear as if you could still be near me but lately i ve been breaking my mind trying my best but it s taking its time cause i ve been forced to digest this wasteful emptiness i m supposed to laugh as if there s nothing going on i know life goes on regardless but nothing s been the same since you ve been gone another run around the sun look at the things we ve seen what have we both become what have we dreamed who have we lost and what have we won i never could ve believed that you wouldn t have finished what we d begun i never cared to image you could ve have taken away from us lately i ve been breaking my mind trying my best but it s taking its time cause i ve been forced to digest this wasteful emptiness i m supposed to laugh as if there s nothing going on i know life goes on regardless but nothing s been the same since you ve been gone since you ve been gone since you ve been gone now times change the game plays on and the truth remains but the rules have all gone wrong life rises now here we are still looking for the place where we belong stronger than habit fantasy deeper than gravity what will be has to be god damn it i understand it i hadn t imagined you d leave me stranded on this stage in these lights where i m standing no right to complain cause it s already more than i d ever had asked but without you the best has yet to pass now this song is about you and i ve been forced to digest this wasteful emptiness i m supposed to laugh as if there s nothing going on i know life goes on regardless but nothing s been the same since you ve been gone since you ve been gone since you ve been gone
