Lyrics

Verse 1
Do you see me all alone
Inside this empty church?
Crying tears of why
You had to go first.
Do you see that my world
Is now total black
As I pray to God
Begging to send you back.

Chorus
What do you see?
Oh what do you see?
When you look at me
Oh what do you see?

Verse 2
Do you see me when
I can't bear to see another day?
Lost without you
In the darkest dark place
Did you see me when I
Threw that fit of rage
And screamed into the void
Until I can't feel a thing?

Chorus
What do you see?
Oh what do you see?
When you look at me
From heaven?

Verse 3
Do you see me complain
How this isn't right?
As I go insane
From another sleepless night
Do you see me hanging on
With no way to tie it in?
I break down and get up
Just to break down again.

What do you see?
Oh what do you see?
When you look at me
From heaven?
Heaven, heaven, sweet heaven
Heaven, heaven, oh, oh, oh, oh
