Lyrics

You build it up and tear it down, there's no reason to follow you.

You create and destroy, but there's no compelling reason to follow your actions.

You left the song without a sound, you left the story I made for you.

You departed without a trace, abandoning the narrative I crafted for you.

Softly angels bow and cry in the stillness of the night.

In the quiet of the night, angels bow and weep.


Never is a long time - goodbye.

The concept of "never" feels like an extended period - a prolonged farewell.

No answers for the asking.

There are no solutions to the questions I pose.

It's a long time - goodbye.

This farewell is enduring and protracted.

No mercy for the aching.

No compassion for the emotional pain.

It's a long time - oh I see no light on the forsaken.

It's a lengthy farewell, and there seems to be no hope for those abandoned.

Never is a long time - goodbye.

Reiterating the idea that bidding farewell is a prolonged process.

Let's spend the night when this dream has come to an end.

Suggesting spending time together as the dream concludes or ends.


Sometimes you laugh,

Indicates that laughter is sometimes followed by tears.

Sometimes you cry, and yes,

Reaffirms the emotional duality, acknowledging the experience of crying.

I've cried over you.

Expressing personal sorrow and tears shed for the person being addressed.

You've left me blind in paradise.

The departure has left the speaker feeling lost in a once idyllic state.

You've left me hungering for the touch of you.

Expressing a deep yearning for the physical connection with the departed person.

Snow white angels run and hide in the blackness of the night.

In the darkness of the night, pure and innocent entities hide in fear.


Never is a long time...

Reiterating the idea that saying goodbye feels like an extended and enduring timeframe.
