I turn up my speakers So I can drown my thoughts just a little bit quicker Dancing barefoot in the dead of winter So I can numb this heart that's full of splinters They say time heals All wounds but these clocks are at a standstill And I'm counting every second that you're not here But only in my dreams do you appear Am I allowed to lay down my smile And be bitter just for a while? Don't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their glow Could you try to take a look into my eyes And tell me why oh why why why? Why oh why why why? Why oh why? I close all the windows Draw the curtains hoping that the sun knows All I see is you when the day glows Reminding me that you are just a shadow When I wake For a split second in time, my heart does not ache Thinking you'll be next to me, then I shake To see an empty bed and all over I brake Am I allowed to lay down my smile And be bitter just for a while? Don't keep pulling me under, we were meant to stay afloat I see all the embers, they've not yet lost all their glow Could you try to take a look into my eyes And tell me why, oh, why why why? I should have known when you were grinding your teeth (I should have known) That you were hiding your feelings from me, oh I should have known when you were tossing in your sleep (I should have known) That you were hiding your feelings from me Don't keep pulling me under we were meant to stay afloat I see the embers they've not yet lost all their glow Could you try to take a look into my eyes And tell me why oh why why why? Don't keep pulling me under we were meant to stay afloat I see all the embers they've not yet lost all their glow Could you try to take a look into my eyes And tell me why oh why why why? Why oh why why why? Why oh why why why? Why oh why why why? Why oh why why why?
