[Intro]

[Verse 1]

I wake to the silence screaming through the walls
Your ghost is everywhere, I hear your footsteps fall
The coffee’s cold and bitter like the blood inside my veins
Every shadow in this house still calls out your name

The radio plays our song but it cuts me like a knife
I’m drowning in the memory of our once-upon-a-life
I try to keep on breathing but the air is turning black
Without you here beside me there’s no way I’m coming back

[Pre-Chorus ]

The nights stretch out forever
And I’m dying here, no never

[Chorus]

I can't go on without you by my side
I can't go on with this endless black tide
I can't go on when the morning brings no light
I can't go on through this never-ending night

I can't go on without sense on my skin
I can't go on with the silence closing in
I can't go on if I never feel your touch
Without your love my life nothing to match

[Solo Piano – building to raw intensity then softening]

[Verse 2]

I drive these empty highways where we used to chase the dawn
Now every mile marker feels like a loaded gun
Your voice still echoes wildly in the corners of my mind
Reminding me of promises we left so far behind

The stars above are mocking me with their indifferent glow
They know the truth I’m living that I cannot let you go
I reach across the darkness for the hand that isn’t there
And scream into the void that used to hold your prayer

[Bridge - stripped back to piano]

If tomorrow comes and drags me to my knees
I’ll beg the heavens for one last reprieve

[Final Chorus]

I can't go on without you by my side
I can't go on with this endless black tide
I can't go on when the morning brings no light
I can't go on through this never-ending night

I can't go on without sense on my skin
I can't go on with the silence closing in
I can't go on if I never feel your touch
Without your love my life nothing to match

[Outro]
I can't go on…
I can't go on…
Without you…
I can't go on…
