When you went, my life was shattered
What was left all cold and battered
The storm set in
I'm caught within the blackness of despair
I reach out but you're not there

How do I break free
this crippling agony has me
trapped inside a hell I cannot hide
haunting memories of a past that would never last

Please release me to the light
I have no more strength to fight
Send me a sign…help me to find
my way back to the promise of a brighter day
I swear you will never fade away
