I turn up my speakers

So I can drown my thoughts just a little bit quicker

Dancin' 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 countin' 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 pullin' me under

We were meant to stay afloat

I see all the embers

They have 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 hopin' that the sun knows

All I see is you when the day glows

Remindin' me that you are just a shadow

When I wake

For a split second in time, my heart does not ache

Thinkin' you'll be next to me, then I shake

To see an empty bed, and all over I break

Am I allowed to lay down my smile

And be bitter just for a while?

Don't keep pullin' me under

We were meant to stay afloat

I see all the embers

They have 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 shoulda known when you were grindin' your teeth (I shoulda known)

That you were hidin' your feelings from me

I shoulda known when you were tossin' in your sleep (I shoulda known)

That you were hidin' your feelings from me

Don't pull me under

We were meant to stay afloat

I see the embers

They have 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 pullin' me under

We were meant to stay afloat

I see all the embers

They have 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?
