[Intro] [Instrumental] [Verse 1] The world keeps movin’ outside the glass But time stopped short for me Your boots by the door, your coat on the rack Like you’re right where you used to be You left in a flash, a sudden eclipse Before your tomorrow could start I count the hours in my tremblin’ hands Till they crumble and fall apart [Pre-Chorus] And I call your name To the empty room But the silence only answers back With a youth cut down in bloom [Chorus] In the dark, in the dark I still hold on Your light stayed here When you were gone In the dark, in the dark I still reach through The unfair endin’ Is all I have of you [Verse 2] The curtains stay closed to block out the day They know it’s a stolen sun I wear your silence like a heavy ring And bleed for what wasn't done The plans that we drew, the promises made Now ink on a bedroom wall A beautiful life with chapters unread Is the heaviest loss of all [Pre-Chorus] And I call your name To the empty room But the silence only answers back With a youth cut down in bloom [Chorus] In the dark, in the dark I still hold on Your light stayed here When you were gone In the dark, in the dark I still reach through The unfair endin’ Is all I have of you [Bridge] If dreams won’t come Then let me stay Where your last laugh Won’t fade away I’d trade all my mornin’s, the rest of my years For one more moment to fight back the tears One more time [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] In the dark, in the dark I still hold on Your light stayed here When you were gone In the dark, in the dark I still reach through The unfair endin’ Is all I have of you Yeah, the unfair endin’ Is all I have of you [Outro] The unfair endin’... Is all I have of you.
