Lyrics

VERSE 1
It seems like only yesterday
So many years ago
Such a sad farewell
Walking down a muddy road
Got caught in the mire
Chained to a heavy load

PRE-CHORUS
You still feel the pain
When tragedy strikes again
Sometimes you've got to live
There's no more left to give

CHORUS
I can't cry, no matter how I try
I can't cry. I hurt, but my eyes are dry
I can't cry, I can only yell at the sky
I can't cry, my tears are gone, my eyes are dry

VERSE 2
What it must hurt like
To pierce a vein with a spike
Stronger than the call
To the slaves of alcohol
Nothing else on the mind
when the monkey comes to call

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

VERSE3
Like a moth to a flame
Drawn to it, just the same
Consequences of desire
Fly straight into the fire
Fragile wings will ignite
Gone because they burned too bright
Gone because they burned too bright
Gone because they burned too bright
Gone because they burned too bright

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS
