I
Didn’t know
How I felt
Until you were gone

‘Cause I
Only chase
What I know
Is lost

Yeah I
I’m still here
And everything’s
Just how I feared

It’s safer that way
Are you sure you’re okay?
You know I’ll always stay
You know I’ll find a way

And I,
Pray for a time
When we’re obeying laws
Instead of crossing lines

And you,
you get the light
While the darkness stays
On my side

It’s never okay,
But it’s safer that way
You know I’ll always stay
Away
