Me Without You



"Me Without You"

Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide
To hide, I can only retreat inside
Inside, I watch myself be strong
Strong, although I know its wrong
Wrong, because I'm not at fault. 
At fault, at fault, who is to blame? 
It's only salt -- 
Salt to our invisible wounds. 
Wounds that sprung up overnight.
Overnight, they metastasize without the light
The light that shines at morning sun
Sun that never rises in our hearts -- 
What's done is done.
Done and gone, tick-tock, our time is gone. 
Good-bye, good-bye, my weary heart wants rest. 
Rest will not come until I pass the test. 
The test, it looms in impatient waiting
Waiting for my spine to quit fading. 
Fading, fading, fading fast
Fast, it's gone. This cannot last. 
Last is final; final is through.
Through, you're gone. It's me without you.
