Sweet Despair

Just when you think It's all been settled and There's nothing wrong You're losing sight of where This all might lead And where it's gone

We live inside the darkness Our hopes run free tonight With every thought that beckons For another try

So many years we spent Just going through the motions With no real sunrise Coming clear on the horizon

You write the ending all alone The yearning never died Although the truth is still untold No one seems to mind

In the shadows of sweet despair In the window you see there's nothing there Just when you thought it could change forever You let it slip away In the shadows of sweet despair In your soul it seems there's nothing left You got a taste of what you wanted

Just when you think it's all been written And the ending's done

Although you fight for all it's worth You see your dreams denied But every part of you that hurts Will refuse to die

In the shadows of sweet despair In the window you see there's nothing there Just when you thought it could change forever You let it slip away In the shadows of sweet despair In your soul it seems there's nothing left You got a taste of what it meant

In the shadows of sweet despair Everything you lost will come to find you there Just when you thought it could change forever You let it slip away In the shadows of sweet despair In the center of your soul there's nothing left You got a taste of what you wanted
