I've had a fear caught in my mind 
since I heard you took your life. 
There's a lot of words I should have said 
that are all replaying in my head. 

And I never saw you on that day - 
the morning that you went away -
but I keep on tripping over 
the scene, 
and my composure. 

Why do I have all this time? 
You lost your life, but I keep mine? 
It's a sorry world I'm left to live in. 
I don't know how to let the light in. 
And I slip each time I climb, 
and I'm getting tired of always trying. 
It's a worthless world I'm left to live in. 
Can you please tell God to let the light in? 

Now all your demons have found me. 
You're in ruins and I am the debris; 
a fracture of a haunted house; 
you can get in, but never out. 

They told me that they'd stay a while, 
but I think even if I lit a fire 
they would float around the ashes 
and never quite detach. And... 

why do I have all this time? 
You lost your life, but I keep mine? 
It's a sorry world I'm left to live in. 
I don't know how to let the light in. 
And I slip each time I climb, 
and I'm getting tired of always trying. 
It's a worthless world I'm left to live in. 
Can you please tell God to let the light in? 

Even if it's just a flame, 
or if it flickers at your name; 
if it tries to burn me out 
and everything else that's around, 
will you tell it to come right in? 
Take down the whole roof, just like lightning? 
I'll keep it alight somewhere within. 
I need you back to let the light in. 

'Cause now I have all this time 
without your life, 'cause you left mine. 
It's a sorry world I'm left to live in 
because you were the one who let the light in. 
And I don't think that I'll climb 
another step, don't wanna try. 
What a worthless world to live in. 
It has no you, it has no light in.
