lyrics

Just like a skydiver I chose the jump and plummet,
fully aware I left my parachute back home.
I must admit, I'm terrified of life without you.
My life is just a plot-less movie.

I think I'm running out of ways to try and reach you and everything I've done's backfired thus far.
The harder I swim, the riptide pulls me farther
out to sea.
Now I've lost my horizon, must I trust the stars
to navigate me home?

Tonight, I pray for tidal waves
to bring me back to safe shores.
I ask for one more chance to get back on my feet.
Before you, I had a future promising, prosperous.
Missed opportunities all out the window.
My attempts to incinerate all belongings that may remind me of you has now left me with a
dark and dismal, empty room.
Now it's too late, a man can only take
so much obsession, so much rejection…

I can't keep living this way forever.
Forever knowing you will never see.
See me drowning in your shadow.

And I know a normal life just can't be lived here,
I'll never know who I might have become.
I've dismissed every bit of progress
that has come my way.
My very being forgotten, the old path is lost.
I'm a broken man.

Tonight, I write my final letters
to those I've neglected.
All of the love I gave to her should have been yours.
Don't wait for miracles to uplift you to grandeur,
just do your best to prevent dying all alone.
And don't you think I don't appreciate
all your bold attempts to revive me,
but there's nothing that you could have done for me,
just blame the stars above.
You know a man can only take so much obsession,
so much rejection…

I can't keep living this way forever.
Forever knowing you will never see.
See me drowning in your shadow.

Dear,
Dear Janis, my love.
By the time you read this, I'll be gone.
As long as memory allows me,
you've been my world.

And every time you hurt yourself,
I think it hurts me even more.
And will you ever understand
what it is I'm dying for?

I can't keep living this way forever.
Forever knowing you will never see.
See me drowning in your shadow.
