Before you leave me in the shadows of a love I can't erase
Let me once more gaze upon the summer lightness of your face
Don't you know I'll miss everything
when you walk out the door
So turn the light out when you leave
'cause I don't need it anymore

I still miss your gentle lips and your hair against my face
I'll still feel around for memories that I never can replace
And I'll forever hear the silence of my loneliness entire
But I'll never have to see that you're not mine
If you go your way I'll go blind
The smell upon your pillow will still wake me in the night
But it's better than my dreams
because they keep you in my sight
And so I spend my life awake in darkness long into my years
No sound but for my breathing and no warmth but for my tears

I still miss your gentle lips and your hair against my face
I'll still feel around for memories that I never can replace
And I'll forever hear the silence of my loneliness entire
But I'll never have to see that you're not mine
If you go your way I'll go blind
