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.
I've been living like a shadow
Disappearing with the Sun
My life has always been a struggle
I know I'm not the only one
I never got to say goodbye, it's like you're still alive
I hear your voice at night sometimes but it's only in my mind
We only have so much time left
You never know when you'll take your last breath
What happens when the curtain closes?
Will I see you in the wings?
Will we walk out of the exit
As the siren starts to sing?
I never got to say goodbye, it's like you're still alive
I send smoke into the atmosphere in hopes you'll see the sign
(Love your children like a fire, be their sacred oxygen)
We only have so much time left
We only have so much time left
You never know when you'll take your last breath
We only have so much time left
