Fates Warning - The Light and Shade of Things lyrics

You confess a lot of things But you confess alone The absense of a person brings The burning question home The nights are long, they turn to days And sleep is not a friend The voices though you hear them sing Are only in your head And you have not begun to fight It slowly takes a toll The burden of the little thing Will never make you whole I understand that feeling of dread, you're used to it And thos empty promises are just the same When our time had come to end, it's over then It's over then, it's over The light and shade of things The light you held is gone And although people change I know it can't be far The light and shade of things And I can't understand How one is more important Than the other You're nowhere now, you're nowhere now I know that it's hard to find A heart that's there inside It's hard to find your heart now Forget falling down, forget all that you've been It's time to face those broken promises Oh, burn the past, this thing has to end I wish that it felt strange that you feel nothing The light and shade of things The light you held is gone And although people change I know it can't be far The light and shade of things And I can't understand How one is more important Than the other You're nowhere now, you're nowhere now I know that it's hard to find A heart that's there inside It's hard to find your heart now Some roads are empty Some roads just go on And though you may walk alone, my friend I know it won't be long It's not over, not over yet I know you can remember when You gave away you heart in your hand It's not over then, it's not over I know, your heart is there It's there inside
