Lyrics
I was the centre of my daysCounted every breath as proofThe sun came upWas never mine to lose
Will it go dark when I am gone?Or only dark behind my eyes?The world will turn, it always hasIt just pretends to be surprised
I gave my fears important namesWore my worries like a crownNow I sit here, the crown is rustI am lighter laying it down
Will it go dark when I am gone?Or only dark behind my eyes?The world will turn, it always hasIt will not even say goodbye
No curtain falls, no music swellsNo audience, no grateful tearsJust Tuesday morning, birds and rainThe ordinary end of year
Will it go dark when I am gone?Or only dark behind my eyes?The world will turn, it always hasAnd that, somehow, is the surprise
Will it go darkBehind my eyes
The world will turn, it always hasIt will not even say goodbye
