The Light and Shade of Things - Live 2018
You confess a lot of things
But you confess alone
The absence of a person brings
The burning question home
The nights are long, they turn to days
And sleep is not a friend
The voices though you hear them sing
Are only in your head
And you have not begun to fight
It slowly takes a toll
The burden of that little thing
Will never make you whole
And I understand that feeling of dread, you're used to it
And those empty promises are just the same (just the same)
When our time has come to end, it's over then
It's over then, it's over
The light and shade of things
The light you held is gone
And although people change
I know it can't be far
The light and shade of things
And I can't understand
How one is more important
Than the other
You're nowhere now, you're nowhere now
I know that it's hard to find
A heart that's there inside
It's hard to find your heart now
Forget falling down, forget all that you've been
It's time to face those broken promises
Oh, burn the past, this thing has to end
I wish that it felt strange that you feel nothing
The light and shade of things
The light you held is gone
And although people change
I know it can't be far
The light and shade of things
And I can't understand
How one is more important
Than the other
You're nowhere now, you're nowhere now
I know that it's hard to find
A heart that's there inside
It's hard to find your heart now
Some roads are empty
Some roads just go on
And though you may walk alone, my friend
I know it won't be long
It's not over, not over yet
I know you can remember when
You gave away your heart in your hand
It's not over then, it's not over
The light and shade of things
The light and shade of things
The light and shade of things
And I can't understand
How one is more important
Than the other
You're nowhere now, you're nowhere now
I know that it's hard to find
A heart that's there inside
It's hard to find your heart now
I know, your heart is there
It's there inside, it's there inside
I know, your heart is there
It's there inside, it's there inside
It's there inside
It's there inside
But you confess alone
The absence of a person brings
The burning question home
The nights are long, they turn to days
And sleep is not a friend
The voices though you hear them sing
Are only in your head
And you have not begun to fight
It slowly takes a toll
The burden of that little thing
Will never make you whole
And I understand that feeling of dread, you're used to it
And those empty promises are just the same (just the same)
When our time has come to end, it's over then
It's over then, it's over
The light and shade of things
The light you held is gone
And although people change
I know it can't be far
The light and shade of things
And I can't understand
How one is more important
Than the other
You're nowhere now, you're nowhere now
I know that it's hard to find
A heart that's there inside
It's hard to find your heart now

Oh, burn the past, this thing has to end

The light and shade of things

You're nowhere now, you're nowhere now
I know that it's hard to find
A heart that's there inside
It's hard to find your heart now
I know, your heart is there
It's there inside, it's there inside
I know, your heart is there
It's there inside, it's there inside
It's there inside
It's there inside
