I thought you'd come back
At least I prayed (so I prayed)
The romance has been dead for years
But I've been too afraid
To dig the grave (so I prayed)
Relief, support, never came
Memories carry me through the days
Of when we were kids
And angels came to watch us play
Close my eyes
Just for tonight
The sun still sleeps
And when she wakes
A movie that plays in my mind
Remembering you helps me survive
Every day a re-run of the next
I promised to stay by your side
That all would change
I can't complain
Another victim of the game
Close my eyes
Just for tonight
The sun still sleeps
And when she wakes
Maybe love will find us again
For there is always tomorrow
Sincerely 'til the end
Close my eyes
Just for tonight
The sun still sleeps
And when she wakes
You'll be a memory
At least I prayed (so I prayed)
The romance has been dead for years
But I've been too afraid
To dig the grave (so I prayed)
Relief, support, never came
Memories carry me through the days
Of when we were kids
And angels came to watch us play
Close my eyes
Just for tonight
The sun still sleeps
And when she wakes
A movie that plays in my mind
Remembering you helps me survive
Every day a re-run of the next
I promised to stay by your side
That all would change
I can't complain
Another victim of the game
Close my eyes
Just for tonight
The sun still sleeps
And when she wakes
Maybe love will find us again
For there is always tomorrow
Sincerely 'til the end
Close my eyes
Just for tonight
The sun still sleeps
And when she wakes
You'll be a memory

this song is nothing less then amazing, i've been listening to it on repeat for days now.
i love it
This Song Describes When Shit Hit The Fan and All You Want To Do is Wake Up And Wish What Happend Never Happend.
They are the most amazing hardcore band I have ever heard. I still haven't gotten a chance to see them live though. It does make it even more amzing that they ARE a Christian band, when most of the listeners are of a secular world. Most the time Christian bands get labeled as "lame" just because they are God inspired, and never get the chance to voice their music because of the prejudices of the blind secular world.
i second that
i listen to it 3 times a day or the day just doesnt feel right.
its quite obviouse if you read these lyrics that this song is nothing short of amazing . . . .
I jst started being an Underoath fan, and obviously the lyrics are nothing short of amazing and nothing more than beautiful.
It's so strange, hating the relapses of love. So many emotions against but for one thing. Pure. No words can describe, wow this sang is amazing.
This song is truely amazing, it has impacted me greatly, and tells me exactally what my feelings are. I recently got dumped, so it hurts. This song is the best
I just saw underoath in pittsburgh, and they really are an amazing band....their songs are so deep, and they are truly one of the best hardcore bands out there
