A Trick Of The Light

Hello again

I've been dying since you've been gone

I never knew that the night could be so long

Since we began, i've been dying to belong

I never knew that desire could be so strong

So wrap your arms around me

Destroy me with your smile

Let your love enshroud me

And hold me for a while

I've been awake at way past midnight

Watching seconds dropping dead

And pouring over pages that i've already read

And i've been crying out to the angels

To relieve my tired soul

And praying to god in heaven

To fill this empty hole

Chorus

So give me empty promises

That you'll never keep

Make me feel like i'm the only

Take me, shake me, break me down again

Wake me from my sleep

Make me feel i'm not so lonely

I been alone before but its never been like this

I wake up screaming in the night

I think i see you beside me

And i'm dying for your kiss

And then i turn to you to find there is nothing there

It's only a trick of the light

I've seen the early sunrise

When i've been too tired to sleep

And i've been dying over secrets that i know i have to keep

Cuz when your evidence is circumstantial

In the trials of the heart

Then life seems less substantial

Than speaking sign language in the dark

Chorus
