[Verse 1]
Hear the clock ticking on the wall
Losing sleep, losing track of the tears I cry
Every drop is a waterfall
Every breath is a break in the riptide

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, how long has it been? I don't know

[Chorus]
But it feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don't know
To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light
Somewhere I can't go?

[Post-Chorus]
As I walk this world alone
As I walk this world alone

[Verse 2]
Another glimpse of what could've been (Ooh)
Another dream, another way that it nevеr was
Falling back in the wilderness (Ooh)
Waking up, rubbing salt in thе cut
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, how long has it been? I don't know

[Chorus]
But it feels like an eternity
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be
Someone you don't know
To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light
Somewhere I can't go?

[Post-Chrous]
As I walk this world alone (Alone, alone)
As I walk this world alone (Alone, alone)

[Bridge]
It's an endless night, it's a starless sky
It's a hell that I call home (Hell that I call home)
It's a long goodbye on the other side
Of the only life I know

[Chorus]
And it feels like an eternity (Mm)
Since I had you here with me
Since I had to learn to be (Mm)
Someone you don't know (Woah)
To be with you in paradise
What I wouldn't sacrifice
Why'd you have to chase the light
Somewhere I can't go?
[Outro]
As I walk this world alone
As I walk this world alone
