Sam Lynch: Darkest Places (Live)

I can hear your voice in my ear
It's ringing loud, it's sharp, it's clear
Calling me back to yester-year
Some cruel parade of youthful days disappeared

Are you sick or are you lonely?
Wasting all your hours only filling my head with regret

Then I said,
"Wait, no, I'm not finished here yet"
All this time I've been holding the space on your side of the bed

I can see how it'll all play out
I'll get the kids and you'll get the house
That's how the world works now
Things get hard, we close the book, we burn it down

Are you sick or are you lonely?
Wasting all your hours only filling my head with regret
Everything I could have said
Am I sick, or am I lonely?
Wasting all my hours only filling my head with regret

Then I said,
"Wait, no, I'm not finished here yet"
All this time I've been holding the space on your side of the bed
All this time I've been holding the space on your side of the bed

I've been writing everyday
Just trying to rid myself of any power you might have over me
Under my breath, edge of my lips
Send a message, say you're proud of everything that I am now
You're holding to a photograph that's faded
And I try so hard to see the light behind your eyes,
but how can I when you have only brought me to the darkest places?

But I hold the space,
I still hold the space for you
