Lyrics
I've been through the darkness
Felt the weight of my loneliness
Shapes move in the shadows
Aimless in the wilderness
Held in a love gone wrong
Feels like you're already gone
I carry my burden
Silent as the moonlight.
Touch me, I am shaking,
Quietly breaking
So tired of being alone
Feels like you're already gone
Where did you go?
My love I miss you so
Seeing you, you're like someone I knew
Circles and dimes,
We go around and round and out of time
Slowly we are fading
Worn out in a painting
Love, weary and older
Curls up in a corner
Oh, now it's been too long
Feels like you're already gone
Oh, now it's been too long
Feels like you're already gone
