| In a silent world
|
| I had lived without sight or sound
|
| In all that time
|
| You know I felt that shame
|
| But I put the blame on everyone around
|
| In all that time
|
| And I had lost all of my power, my faith and my belief
|
| In all that time
|
| And I had lost those wings that carried me To any place I longed to be In all that time
|
| I should have
|
| Let you know one thing
|
| That what you saw
|
| Was just my shadow
|
| A picture black and white
|
| The colours shining bright
|
| Were washed away
|
| In that rain still falling down on me Was all that a curse
|
| Whatever promised to get better
|
| Turned out worse
|
| In all that time
|
| I lived under that spell
|
| I was caught in my own private hell
|
| In all that time
|
| And I had lost all of my power, my faith and my belief
|
| In all that time
|
| And I had lost all hope
|
| I was clutching at a burning rope
|
| Helpless like a child
|
| In all that time
|
| I should have
|
| Let you know one thing
|
| That what you saw
|
| Was just my shadow
|
| A skeleton disguised
|
| A soul devitalised
|
| A body caught in automation
|
| I lay awake that night
|
| Wishing you could hold me tight
|
| I could as well have been dead
|
| I never dared to say the words I should have said
|
| I should have known
|
| That it won’t get better just by waiting
|
| Or telling myself
|
| That I would try to be a better man
|
| And I should have known
|
| That I ran away too often
|
| Instead of moving on In a silent world
|
| I had lived without sight or sound
|
| In all that time
|
| You felt my distress
|
| And I can only guess
|
| What you’ve been through
|
| In all that time
|
| I should have let you know
|
| That I had lost all of my power, my faith and my belief
|
| In all that time
|
| And I had lost all hope
|
| I was clutching at a burning rope
|
| Helpless like a child
|
| In all that time
|
| I should have
|
| Let you know one thing
|
| That what you saw
|
| Was just my shadow
|
| A skeleton disguised
|
| A soul devitalised
|
| A body caught in automation
|
| I lay awake that night
|
| Wishing you could hold me tight
|
| I could as well have been dead
|
| I never dared to say the words I should have said
|
| I should have known
|
| That it won’t get better just by waiting
|
| Or telling myself
|
| That I would try to be a better man
|
| And I should have known
|
| That I ran away too often
|
| Instead of moving on Instead of moving on |
