Shades Apart

Christmas Lights

Shades Apart


All she was a parent's prize 
Pushed to the edge by childhood lies
No escape when it's that far gone 
Just hope and pray you have it all wrong
Somehow it ain't the same but nothing's changed 

Christmas lights sparkles in the silence 
Torture me with joyful cries 
No escaping that it's gone forever
To a quiet place where someone cares for her 

I don't feel like coming home 
This don't feel like coming home 

All I have is a photograph 
The words you left and a frozen laugh
Frozen in time where you will always be 
An empty space walking next to me
