Doesn't matter how long
Or how hard I try
Seems nothing's good enough
And everything I say you turn it around on me
It doesn't take too long to see
The impact that this has on me
I gave up trying
Now I'm left with nothing but misery

How could this happen
Where were the signs
I must have missed them
If only there had been some electricity

Can't you see me falling
I know you hear me calling
You turned your back on me
Gaping hole is all that's left
Why couldn't you at least
Give a map and some direction
To avoid the chasm
Prevent me from just fading away

I tried to explain
The way things had been
How they could be repaired
You want to have nothing to do with it
Go out on your own
Abandon what could have been
Something for eternity
Instead an empty place is there

Now alone and in the dark
An aching feeling takes the place
No way I'll ever let
Anything else into this space
The door is closed
Turning all the people away
Shut indoors and drapes are drawn
Shining day forever eternal night
