My Own Best Enemy

There's been no sunlight
Since the day you said goodbye
Since the moment that my life
Turned into a masquerade

I can't even pretend to
Paste a smile across my face
All my dreams have been erased
There's nothing left to save me

Chorus:
And you
You're the only one can stop my sky from falling
You're the only one who's name I keep on calling
When everything is closing in
And you
You're the only one can stop this heart from aching
You're the only one who can stop me from shaking
And put me back together
Again

What I'd give just to wake up
And wipe your memory from my eyes
But I can't wish for bluer skies
I've never been quite so hopeless

Chorus:
And you
You're the only one can stop my sky from falling
You're the only one who's name I keep on calling
When everything is closing in
And you
You're the only one can stop this heart from aching
You're the only one who can stop me from shaking
And put me back together
Again

And if you stay away
I fear it will all be too much
And if you stay away
I'll be a man who's lost his touch

Chorus:
And you
You're the only one can stop my sky from falling
You're the only one who's name I keep on calling
When everything is closing in
And you
You're the only one can stop this heart from aching
You're the only one who can stop me from shaking
And put me back together
Again

Again

Locked up tight but holdin' the key
Clock keeps tickin' like it's laughin' at me
I wonder
What spell I'm under
Days go by in a pulseless haze
Who's that person that's wearin' my face
Denyin'
What he's hidin'

I can't go on like this
I won't let myself miss the rest of my life

Chorus:
When something's come and gone
What good is holdin' on?
Why waste tomorrow chasin' yesterday?
I part my lips to speak
But the words are out of reach
I guess that really means
There's nothin' left to say

I guess we could carry on livin' asleep
Who is the fool who could choose to just keep pretendin'
That this ain't endin'?
I wish you all that I wish for myself
To have that ache of emptiness behind us
And not still inside us

It's time to take that dare
There's still a world out there waitin' for me

Chorus:
When something's come and gone
What good is holdin' on?
Why waste tomorrow chasin' yesterday?
I part my lips to speak
But the words are out of reach
I guess that really means
There's nothin' left to say

We did the best we could
Just like we thought we should
But sometimes you've got to just let go

Chorus:
When something's come and gone
What good is holdin' on?
Why waste tomorrow chasin' yesterday?
I part my lips to speak
But the words are out of reach
I guess that really means
There's nothin' left to say

There's nothin' left to say
Nothin' left to say

I've got a secret
That I think I'm ready to share
It may bring us closer
It may be a burden to bear

It's precious and it's real
And all that I can feel

Chorus:
Is that I'm falling
As deep as any ocean
In ways that can't be spoken
I am falling
For the millionth and the first time
Ever and eternally for you

You are a beacon
Revealing the places I hide
You've given freedom
To so much that I kept inside

And with one look in my eyes
It can't be a surprise

Chorus:
That I am falling
As deep as any ocean
In ways that can't be spoken
I am falling
For the millionth and the first time
Ever and eternally for you

Now there's no darkness
My truth laid open and bare
It's in my flesh and bones
Yeah it's everywhere

Chorus:
That I am falling
As deep as any ocean
In ways that can't be spoken
I am falling
Like rays that come from heaven
Bathed in your reflection
I am falling
For the millionth and the first time
Ever and eternally for you

Elusive happiness
Can be like promises
That rest so gently on our pillow
We stood out on the ledge
And leaned over the edge
And nearly fell right through that window

There were those who had us done by now
Baby, we've only just begun

Chorus:
The world may crash and burn
Or suddenly just cease to turn
But love goes on
It may look out of reach
And time may rob us like a thief
But love goes on
Our love goes on

No one may recognize
What lives behind our eyes
Sometimes the good times are the hardest
And when my strength is gone
It's you that I lean on
A light at the end of all my darkness

And in the end if I know nothing else
The answer is only in your arms

Chorus:
The world may crash and burn
Or suddenly just cease to turn
But love goes on
It may look out of reach
And time may rob us like a thief
But love goes on

And in the end if I know nothing else
The answer is right here in your arms
It's always in your arms

Chorus:
The world may crash and burn
Or suddenly just cease to turn
But love goes on
It may look out of reach
And time may rob us like a thief
But love goes on

Oh love goes on

It may look out of reach
And time may rob us like a thief
But love goes on

Everyone, even those I love
Say that I must move on
It's time to pick the pieces up
What's done is done
What's gone is gone
And I, I know they mean me well
But I'm not buying what they sell

Chorus:
I can see your face
In every shooting star
Can you feel my pain
From where you are?
I really wanna know was it worth the ride?
And will you be waitin' on the other side?
The other side

I've been a soul adrift
Without you here to steady me
And I still listen for your voice
Through the anger and insanity
And I'm desperate for your help
Oh I look for it in myself

Chorus:
I can see your face
In every shooting star
Can you feel my pain
From where you are?
And I really wanna know was it worth the ride?
And will you be waitin' on the other side?
The other side

And I, I'm desperate for your help
Oh I, I find it in myself

Chorus:
I can see your face
In every shooting star
Can you taste my tears
Ah, from where you are?
And I really wanna know was it worth the ride?
And will you be waitin' on the other side?
The other side
The other side

Well look at me, the guy who's got it all
Tryin' to read my own writing on the wall
Not happy 'til the sadness comes
To keep me company
Oh, but what becomes of fools who love like me

Chorus:
Who's gonna dry my tears
When I'm crying?
Who's gonna hold my hand
When I'm dying?
Who's gonna set me right when
Everything is wrong
Who's gonna love me
When you're gone?

Sure as winter goes and comes around again
I will be my own undoing in the end
I'll find the answers I've been searching for
In your goodbye kiss
'Cause I don't deserve you and you don't deserve this

Chorus:
Who's gonna dry my tears
When I'm crying?
And who's gonna hold my hand
When I'm dying?
Who's gonna set me right when
Everything is wrong
Yeah, who's gonna love me
When you're gone?

Never happy 'til the darkness comes
And rains down on me
Down on me

Chorus:
And who's gonna dry my tears
When I'm crying?
And who's gonna hold my hand
When I'm dying?
Who's gonna set me right when
Everything is wrong
Who's gonna love me
When you're gone?

Who's gonna love me when you're gone?
Baby when you're gone
Yeah, who's gonna love me
When you're gone?
Who's gonna love me when you're gone?
Who's gonna love me?
