[Intro]

[Verse 1]
The darkness wraps around me like a heavy chain
The darkness wraps around me like a heavy chain
Another empty evening driving me insane
I turn the lights down low and try to disappear
But every photo in this room still holds you near
The madness presses harder than it ever did before
I fight the memories knocking at my door

[Pre-Chorus]
I try to fight the pictures but they always win the fight
Yet every time the darkness falls you steal away the light

[Chorus]
When I close my eyes, would you still be near?
If the darkness calls, could you calm my fear?
When the memories rise, would you ease the pain?
If the night grows cold, could we meet again?
When the silence screams, would you answer me?
If the world falls down, could you set me free?
When the tears fall heavy, would you hold me tight?
If love could return, could we make it right?

[Solo Grand Piano]

[Verse 2]
The bed feels like a battlefield where we both lost the war
Your side is cold and empty like it was before
I reach across the darkness for the warmth I can’t replace
But all I find is emptiness and your forgotten trace
The clock keeps ticking slowly like it’s mocking me tonight
Every second reminds me of the love we lost in the fight

[Bridge]
If morning comes and takes this pain away from me
I’ll still be searching for the ghost of what used to be

[Final Chorus]
When I close my eyes, would you still be near?
If the darkness calls, could you calm my fear?
When the memories rise, would you ease the pain?
If the night grows cold, could we meet again?
When the silence screams, would you answer me?
If the world falls down, could you set me free?
When the tears fall heavy, would you hold me tight?
If love could return, could we make it right?

[Outro]
When I close my eyes…
You’re haunting all my dreams…
When I close… my eyes…
