The Old Hurt of Being Left Behind

Old pain left my heart with a cavernous abyss
And the answer echoes from the bottom
Will you help me find the path down into the dark?
I'm scared of being alone down in the deep dark

All the ones I left first, so I won't feel this way
Hoping they'd still be here, know they're gone anyway
I always moved on before mourning, just to survive
And when morning breaks, I can't bear to step in the light

Down, deeper down, through the years
Past the fragmented memories of people I lost
The closer we get, the more that it aches
'Til I can't feel the pain, but I can't stop the tears
Will you help me find a way
Out of the dark?
Am I too late?
Healing hurts
I've got to find
The old hurt of being left behind

So now we are here, through the eyes of a child
At the bottom, where now has no meaning
I'm trapped in the pain of loss, and not knowing why
Eons have passed to the day, I still don't know why

Down, deeper down, through the years
Past the fragmented memories of people I lost
The closer we get, the more that it aches
'Til I can't feel the pain, but I can't stop the tears
Down, deeper down, through the years
Past the fragmented memories of people I lost
How did I learn to turn it all off
When the absence of pain hurts more?
Will you help me find a way
Out of the dark?
Am I too late?
Healing hurts
I've got to find
The old hurt of being left behind

Somewhere, there is someone who loves you
Before and after they learn what you are
Somewhere, there is someone who loves you
Before and after they learn what you are

Down, deeper down, through the years
Past the fragmented memories of people I lost
The closer we get, the more that it aches
'Til I can't feel the pain, but I can't stop the tears
Down, deeper down, through the years
Past the fragmented memories of people I lost
How did I learn to turn it all off
When the absence of pain hurts more?

Somewhere, there is someone who loves you
Before and after they learn what you are
Somewhere, there is someone who loves you
Before and after they learn what you are
Somewhere, there is someone who loves you
Before and after they learn what you are
Somewhere, there is someone who loves you
Before and after they learn what you are
