I'll go check in the morning
A kind of silent falling
Watch the sunrise all alone
And i wanna be with you
And feel your gentle breathing
It can't be easy on your own
And it matters to be here
Got something i believe in
I'm not sure what i should do
Now it's six in the morning
And all our lives are calling
It's precious; it won't wait for you
What'll i do, what will i say when you're gone?
In this emptiness emotion
Will it hurt when you walk out the door?
Fall asleep like drowning in the ocean
I don't wanna go crazy
And still the world keeps turning
Turn around and walk away
And the hours are fading
There is no more persuading
No more words will make you stay
What'll i do, what will i say when you're gone?
In this emptiness emotion
Will it hurt when you walk out the door?
Fall asleep like drowning in the ocean
I don't wanna go crazy
And still the world keeps turning
Turn around and walk away
And the hours are fading
There is no more persuading
No more words will make you stay
Where did it go
When time goes by so slowly?
And how will i know
You'll be here when i need you?
Drowning
