[Verse 1: John Cooper]
Chasing these shadows around this darkened room
I’ve laid here so long, I don’t even want to move
I need a minute now to heal
I need a minute now to remember how to feel
[Chorus: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
Whenever you’re gone away
The darkness hides the day
Whenever you’re gone, the bleeding won’t stop
It hurts 'till you come back
Everything goes black
Everything goes black
[Verse 2: Jen Ledger & John Cooper]
I reached out for you when I needed you to be here
All alone, chasing these shadows
I don’t want the pain but I’d rather hurt than not care
It’s so long, you’ve been away from here
I need a reason now to heal
I need something to believe in
I need a reason now to remember how to feel
[Chorus: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
Whenever you’re gone away
The darkness hides the day
Whenever you’re gone, the bleeding won’t stop
It hurts 'till you come back
Everything goes black
Everything goes black
[Bridge: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
Give me something to believe in
I still believe in you
But if you’re never here and I’m left all alone
Tell me what am I supposed to do
[Chorus: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
Whenever you’re gone away
The darkness hides the day
Whenever you’re gone, the bleeding won’t stop
It hurts 'till you come back
Everything goes black
Everything goes black
[Outro: John Cooper & Jen Ledger]
Everything goes black
Everything goes black
Whenever you’re gone everything goes black
