I find my troubles wait 'til I’m home
Nothing to distract me when daylight is gone
[Pre-Chorus]

[Pre-Chorus]
I just toss and I turn
All I see is your face

I can run, I can run
But I can't keep thе pace

It’s been months
Just for once
Give me something to chase
Just for once
Where were you on my darkest day?
[Chorus]
I hold my breath just so you can breathe
Used to stand with me, I’m running on empty
Now I gave my sight so that you could see
Used to stand with me, I'm running on empty
