Looking For An Answer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's an emptiness tonight
A hole that wasn’t there before
And I keep reaching for the light
But I can’t find it anymore
There's an emptiness tonight
A heavy hand that pulls me down
They say it’s gonna be alright
But can begin to tell me how
And I ask myself out loud
Have I been lost all along
Was there something I could say
Or something I should not have done
Was I lost all along
Was I looking for an answer
When there never really was one
Was I looking for an answer
When there never really was one
Is there sunshine where you are?
The way there was when you were here
Cause I’m just sitting in the dark
In disbelief that this is real
In disbelief that this is real
Have I been lost all along
Where there something I could say
Or something I should not have done
Was I lost all along
Was I looking for an answer
When there never really was one
Was I looking for an answer
When there never really was one
And I ask myself out loud
Have I been lost all along
Where there something I could say
Or something I should not have done
Was I lost all along
Was I looking for an answer
When there never really was one
Was I looking for an answer
When there never really was one
