Lyrics

There's a light but no one's home You can hear the silence drone A little artificial bliss A happiness counterfeit I've been chasing away those fears Just happy to let things slip Oh, when my angel appears She's wasting her time I can't help it if you don't feel satisfied You only ever looked at me through broken eyes From the shortest of the nights to the longest sunrise Broken eyes I've been dreaming about my past Thinking about a friend And how we grew up too fast Enjoying the years slip past You see you're present, but never here It's been a day, but feels like a year Oh, when my angel appears She's wasting her time I can't help it if you don't feel satisfied You only ever looked at me through broken eyes From the shortest of nights to the golden sunrise Broken eyes Oh, wasting time I've been dreaming of you for days How I wish you were near Oh, when my angel appears Don't tell her I'm here I can't help it if you don't feel satisfied You only ever shed a tear through broken eyes From the longest of nights to the shortest sunrise You only ever looked at me through sharpened eyes Oh, broken eyes Paint that smile up on my face again I was the last, was the last to know I was the last, was the last to know I was the last, was the last to know I was the last, was the last to know
