lyrics

Loss has a disfigured face
with a crooked smile that will not wait for me
to comprehend the truth of this piercing reality
Oh what
I wouldn't do
To have you come back home
But that's the way it goes
And I suppose
Your light was on and now it's off
But that's the way it goes
And now I know
Your eyes were opened and now they're closed
Pain was a familiar chore
With a heavy weight demanding more of your
short time and energy
Until you were too weak to see
Oh what I wouldn't do
To have you come back home
But that's the way it goes
And I suppose
Your light was on and now it's off
But that's the way it goes
And now I know
Your eyes were opened and now they're closed
When your eyes were open
You taught me to believe
We'd see each other again
Yeah you taught me to believe...
And that's the way it goes
And I suppose
Your light was on and now it's off
That's the way it goes
And now I know
Your eyes were opened and now they're closed
