Waking  up to the image  I can't erase
 I'm seeing ghosts of the feelings I once chased
Shaken  up by the answers  you'd present
 At the most, I believed in you, to some extent
'Cause  I feel that  I can't go on
 I trusted you to some extent
With  this void inside  bleeding on
 Shared love with you, I regret
Salt jaded  and  empty
silence

 Riff 1 over
All  I've known was  living life a bit  more
 Meaningful than the days before
That  night you said  you felt like  shit
 When you looked at me, I must admit
Nobody's  ever said  the things you  said  to me
 I trusted you to some extent
Now  I'll never give  away the best  of  me
 Shared love with you, I regret
Salt jaded  and  empty
silence
 x2
And  the long drive home,
And  the long drive home,  I
Swerved  round the lane  hours
Fatigued  with the thoughts  in my mind
And  the long drive home,
I  swerved round the lane  hours,
Wishing  and praying  to a blackened sky
That  one day, things would  turn out like...
The  lives I've seen  and the love you shared  with me
The  lives I've seen  and the love you  shared with me
 enjoy
 cheers
