[Verse 1] Empty coffee cup on the passenger seat I packed my whole life in a single sheet The door clicked shut and the landlord stared Like he never knew me, like nobody cared They took the keys, they took my name Left me standing out in the pouring rain Circumstances, cruel and cold Took every story I ever told [Chorus] And the world keeps spinning while I'm falling apart Holding the pieces of a broken heart Stepping out into the world on my own Without anybody, all alone It’s so unfair, yeah, the deck is stacked Nothing I do is ever going back I got nothing left, no ground to stand Just a shivering ghost in a hostile land [Verse 2] I trusted shadows, I trusted lies Saw the betrayal in their hollow eyes Every bridge I built was burned to the ground Not a single whisper of grace around They say what doesn't kill you makes you strong Well, I've been breaking for way too long Stuck in the dark where the sun don't reach Taught a lesson I didn't want to teach [Chorus] And the world keeps spinning while I'm falling apart Holding the pieces of a broken heart Stepping out into the world on my own Without anybody, all alone It’s so unfair, yeah, the deck is stacked Nothing I do is ever going back I got nothing left, no ground to stand Just a shivering ghost in a hostile land [Bridge] And maybe I'll never see a brighter day Maybe happiness walked too far away Every door is locked, every window barred And hope is a whisper that's dying hard (But deep inside) Beneath the ash, a tiny ember glows Where it came from, God only knows Just a flickering spark in the freezing chill I'm holding my breath... and keeping it still [Outro] Just a spark... Still alive. Stepping out... Alone. [Fade Out]
