lyrics

In the beginning there was only you
On this planet that we built for us
Now I'm spinning in this cold and vast alone
Is this the new normal? I want it gone
Here's darkness where your brightness shone
So move those clouds and switch that sun on
Draw the curtains back and let the morning fall on
One more vision of your sleeping face again
I came home to this shattered life
I turned the key and lost a wife
And all I want is this, is this
So unbreak all the stars above
Refill these empty rooms with love
I need to hold you like a baby in my kiss
In the beginning there was only you
Hell is but the absence of all that we long for
Now I have nobody left to be strong for
Is this the life version 2?
I never asked for this, I only wanted you
Snow coats the thistle
Like a blanket round your memory still warm
Where we scattered you by that little tree upon the hill and
The weather vein of me
Pointed in every direction to the growing storm.
In the beginning there was only you
And a future for us I wish we'd known
Now I sink in the ocean of days
like stone
