The Witness

(专辑： Phoenix - 2017)

The moment I reacted
When I dared to run away
And I'm caught in a sensation
A witness to your closing eyes

Why
Always the innocent
The first to fall
Unable to comprehend
Couldn't protect
Take your place
Or rewind the time
The hardest part remains
For those left behind

When it's over
A fading light in you
Don't wake me up
Til I'm sober
I know we're incomplete
We're not okay

I feel disconnected
The smile on your face
I swore I'd protect it
A lie
I can't
Take the weight of my back
The words that I said
The noose around my neck

Take my light
Too high the price you paid
Tell me how can I
Save a life
If I'm afraid
Cause I'm afraid

So please let me know
When it's over
A fading light in you
Don't wake me up
Til I'm sober
I know we're incomplete
We're not okay

No escape from what I've done

The moment I reacted
When I dared to run away
And I'm caught in a sensation
A witness to your closing eyes

And no one tells you
How to bear the
Weight of your excuse
Cause we know it's no use

Take my light
Too high the price you paid
Tell me how can I
Save a life
If I'm afraid
Cause I'm afraid

So please let me know
When it's over
A fading light in you
Don't wake me up
Til I'm sober
I know we're incomplete
We're not okay
