Tomorrow Without You


Twisting together

Two hearts

One world

One boy

One girl

Fitting together

In all the crooked parts

You love me

I know you do

I love you too

But tell me

When did home

Become so empty

And alone

When did it become so hard

To breathe

And rest our hearts easy

 

I don't want to know

Don't tell me

It wasn't meant to be

I don't want to know

If we're heading to an ending

In slow motion

Don't tell me that

I want us back

Get us back on track

Take me in

And tell me

Does it feel the same

Take this shame

And blame

Away from me

Wash it clean

I can't breathe

The way I used to

And I miss you

 

Look at me

Looking at you

Same eyes

I've always known

So why do you feel so far away

Why can't I see myself

Anymore

Who closed that door

Who put up this wall

Did we rise this high

Just to fall

Did they build us

All this time

All these years

Just to watch us break down

 

Come find me

Save me

Like you used to

Take me in your arms

Hold me close

Kiss me

With your eyes closed

Make it spark 

Alive again

Take it in

Take me under

Skin against skin

So I know

So I can feel

That what we have

Is real

Because as far away

As you seem to me today

I can't imagine

Tomorrow

Without you
