Song Lyrics

I look out the window for a cloud that you might be under
But the sun is going down too early
Invisible embers showering my eyes for non to see
Where is your calling? Call it curiosity, you send, I send, we congregate
And it's hereditary, couldn't conceal it

If she hadn't left me, would I be lying here with you?
If she hadn't said goodbye, would I be smiling here with you?
If she hadn't hurt me, would I be healing here with you?
Let go of my sorrow, thanks for leaving me

A separate feeling, one so far away it almost hurts, common ground
I settle down at square one, baby steps get bigger every time
Holding you close to me, sleeping in an empty bed, I kiss, you twist this serenade
And it's hereditary, I want you to feel it

If she hadn't left me, would I be lying here with you?
If she hadn't said goodbye, would I be smiling here with you?
If she hadn't hurt me, would I be healing here with you?
Let go of my sorrow, thanks for leaving me

Now there's no time anymore for playing silly games
So 'ill get right to the point

If you say my name and step into my shadow
I'll wash it away for you
If you take my hand and promise me forever
I'll give it all up for you

If you say my name and step into my shadow
If you take my hand and promise me forever
There's no more pain, the tears are superficial
There's no more shame, the years of blame dissolve
