Lyrics

Where's the light?
Killed my day
Lost in the dark of your ways
Wasted my energy, endlessly
On your sweet lie

And if you don't mind
I would like to live the lie that I will survive
And if you don't mind
I would love to slip away and leave your world behind

Insecure, I'm not so sure
You're not just faking something
Wasted our last day
I can't take the pain, babe

And if you don't mind
I would like to live the lie that I will survive
And if you don't mind
I would love to see the way you leave it all behind

And if you don't mind
I would like to live the lie that I will survive
And if you don't mind
If you don't mind
