[Verse 1]
A quiet night
Leaves my soul to think
Of all the heartache
In which you let me sink

Slow drag
On a pot-filled cigarette…
Praying for all the love
My heart hasn’t felt yet

[Bridge]
And in the darkness
…I close my eyes
A familiar feeling
…mournful cries

Why didn’t I just let you go?

[Chorus]
Now all that’s left
It isn’t me…
A shell of a man
Who wants to be free…

And yes
All these chains, I forged my own…
The crushing weight
Makes me feel less alone

[Verse 2]
You come and go
I keep the routine
Can’t say hello
Can’t confront the scene

My body aches
Still remembers your touch
Arms around me
Thinking, who could love this much

[Bridge]
And in the darkness
…I close my eyes
A familiar feeling
…mournful cries

Why can’t I just let you go?

[Chorus]
Ashes... that's all you left
Nothing's left of me…
A shell of a man
Who won't go free…

And yes
All these chains, I forged my own…
The crushing weight
Makes me feel less... alone...

[Outro]
Let me go
Say you understand
That I love you
But you can’t take my hand

I stayed too long
Foolish; Pleading through the strife
When I knew all along
You’d already left my life
