Verse 1 I said goodbye to you that night I watched you leave without a word I thought that maybe things could change That fate might write a kinder world You spoke in colors warm and bright But every promise turned to lies You said that once we were alright Till something in us slowly died You said the distance would destroy The fragile hope we tried to hold But you never gave us one real chance You simply left me in the cold Chorus What do I do when you’re not here tonight? The silence screams inside my room You stole my mind, you froze my heart And left me drowning in the blue Tears fall slowly down my face I whisper your name into the dark I want to beg you to come back But I know the truth You won’t return And I have lost Verse 2 Your voice still echoes in my mind A ghost of something that was real Your laughter once was like the light Now it’s a wound I cannot heal You left my heart in shattered glass A thousand pieces on the floor Will I ever breathe again Like I once did before? Were all your promises just reckless words Spoken in a midnight haze? Or did you only want the warmth You found in my arms night after night? Your silence burns inside my chest It drives my fragile thoughts insane I hate you yet I miss you still Two wars are fighting in my brain You took away all that I had And left with everything of me Chorus What do I do when you’re not here tonight? The silence screams inside my room You stole my mind, you froze my heart And left me drowning in the blue Tears fall slowly down my face I whisper your name into the dark I want to beg you to come back But I know the truth You won’t return And I have lost Bridge You left me drowning in defeat A shadow of the girl I was Will I ever find myself again Or stay forever lost because Maybe I was never right for you The worst of every choice you made There were too many in your world And I just slowly started to fade Final Chorus What do I do when you’re not here tonight? The silence screams inside my room You stole my mind, you froze my heart And left me drowning in the blue Tears fall slowly down my face I whisper your name into the dark I want to beg you to come back But I know the truth You won’t return And I have lost
