Wake up to the same light On the same white wall There’s a cup beside the sink And no one calls I make the bed slowly Like it means something more Leave my face in the mirror And walk out the door Softly Let the world go softly I am tired of holding Every little thing Softly If I disappear softly Would you even notice Anything Everybody’s smiling With their hands held tight Talking through the glass now Every single night There’s a blue light blinking By an unpaid bill And a voice in the hallway Saying stand still Softly Let the world go softly I am tired of holding Every little thing Softly If I disappear softly Would you even notice Anything No great fire No final sound Just the quiet Wearing me down No confession No grand goodbye Just a small room And a painted sky Softly Let the world go softly I am tired of holding Every little thing Softly If I come back softly Would you leave a light on Just for me
