I still wake up in the middle of the night
Feel those tears burning in my eyes
Old memories come back with the water
Like ghosts that refuse to die

We walked so long among the fools
Searching for comfort in what once was
Holding on to broken promises
Trying to remember who we were

We gave each other everything
Big words, big dreams, promises of love
Said we'd carry it to the end
But sometimes the road just stops

So my lips are sealed in silence
And I wish that you were here
Your sweet scent still fills this room
Like I can almost feel you near

I wonder where along the way
We forgot that everything must end
But you still live inside my heart
Until I find my way out again

We promised love would never fade
Said what we found was something real
We swore we'd carry it forever
No matter what the world could steal

But somewhere in the middle
We were standing in the storm
Naked underneath the truth
Before the truth had taken form

And all the words we used to say
Were scattered in the rain
Sometimes you lose the one you love
Before you know you've lost their name

So my lips are sealed in silence
And I wish that you were here
Your sweet scent still fills this room
Like I can almost feel you near

I wonder where along the way
We forgot that everything must end
But you still live inside my heart
Until I find my way out again

Now I stand beside the window
Watching night fall on the town
There is emptiness above me
And no stars are shining down

There's a longing in this house
Where we once were meant to stay
What was grand has turned to silence
And the silence knows my name

Yeah, the silence knows my name

But sometimes I wake up
To the light of heaven's stars
And the darkness turns around
And takes another road

Oblivion whispers softly
Like a voice I used to know
But when the light begins to fade
I know what I'm missing most

I'm missing you...
I'm missing us...
I'm missing everything
We thought would last forever

So my lips are sealed in silence
And I wish that you were here
Your sweet scent still fills this room
Like I can almost feel you near

I wonder where along the way
We forgot that everything must end
But you still live inside my heart
Until I find my way out again

Here I stand
In the house of the long dark shadows

My lips are sealed in silence
But your memory won't let go

You live on...
Until I find my way out

Until I find my way out...

From the house
Of the long dark shadows
