While you've been dreaming of the dead and lost
I have been awake kissing these clock faces
The fear of sleep has left me tired and worn
But in her dreams is where I will haunt her

I've seen the shadows of this burning angel
These city lights will never be as beautiful as your eyes
I'll pick up the pieces when you've failed and fallen to the ground
Let my words set and fall upon your unwilling ears
It will be okay

I took to the sky, did you mourn for me?
Well, who needs flowers when they're dead and buried
For now, my whisper is my dearest friend
But even I know this won't last forever

I've seen the shadows of this burning angel
These city lights will never be as beautiful as your eyes
I'll pick up the pieces when you've failed and fallen to the ground
Let my words set and fall upon your unwilling ears
It will be okay

Smile when you think of me, the pain will go in time
I may be alone with fear in my mind
I leave these words in hope that that we'll meet again
Again. Now? I know this won't last forever
