Lyrics
Day Keeps Coming
Big empty house
A single pair of shoes
Decisions made
The paths we choose
There's no love lost
When the flame burns out
There's no will left
To scream and shout
CHORUS:
The day keeps coming
The nights do too
And I'm left wondering
If I'll get over you
With time the rawness will fade
I'll find that I've moved on
Almost makes me sad
To know the feelings gone
There's still four walls
But its not a home
Together two
But too alone
Can't help but wonder
How it comes so fast
That forever after
Becomes forever past
CHORUS
World keeps spinning
Outside my door
I hold on tight
To last a minute more
Minutes turn to hours
Then into days
Till I stop counting
And peace just stays
