Intro: Verso 1: I used to fall asleep to you talking to me I don't listen to anything now Nothing to do with us, I'm just so tired of thinking About everything I'm not afraid of being alone I just don't know what to do with my time Between you and me, I thought it would all last A little while longer But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light While I watch the sky go from black to grey Learning how not to die inside a little every time I think about you and wonder if you are awake Verso 2: You don't know anything, I think about you way more than anything else I'm not that spiritual I still go out all the time to department stores Everything I need, but none of this is getting me anywhere good Between you and me I still fall apart at the thought of your voice But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light While I watch the sky go from black to grey Learning how not to die inside a little every time I think about you and wonder if you are awake And I'm learning to live without the heartache it gives me Nothing I wouldn't do for another few minutes Learning how not to cry every time there's Another sad unbearable morning But sometimes there's nothing I can do Ponte: I can't help it It's you that I think I hear in the quiet light Am I crazy? You're nowhere near me, guess I don't know what I'm saying Just call me, I'll come to where you are alone in the quiet light I'm always thinking you're behind me And I turn around and you're always there But I'm learning to lie here in the quiet light While I watch the sky go from black to grey Learning how not to die inside a little every time I think about you and wonder if you are awake And I'm learning to live without the heartache it gives me Nothing I wouldn't do for another few minutes Learning how not to cry every time there's another sad unbearable morning But sometimes there's nothing I can do Final:
