G# Eb C# G#
The stars in the heavens still shine up above me
C# B
How lovely they'd seem if you were with me...
Ebm C#
But you're gone through the looking-glass
B Bb
And I am left to pass these nights alone
G# Eb C# G# C#
I'm lost, I'm dumb, I'm blind. I am drunk with sadness, sunk by madness
B Ebm
The wave overwhelms me, the mirror repels me
C# B Bb
The echo of your laugh drifts through the looking-glass and I am alone
Ebm Bb Ebm C# B Bb
No friendship, no comfort, no future, no home. The past lingers with me:
C# D C# B Bb
You're all the love I've ever known and without you I'm nothing
Ebm Bb Ebm Bb Ebm
But empty and silent reflecting on all that I've lost
Ebm C# B Bb
I let you slip away so soon
Bb B Bb G# Bb B Bb G#
Can you hear me? This is my song:
B Em B Em
I am dying, you are gone.
G# Eb C#
These words are not enough to save my soul
G# C#
They just mock me from the mirror
B Ebm
I'm cold and I'm yearning, I've told you I'm burning
C#
My eyes can't stand the light...
B Bb
Like a stray dog in the night I'll shuffle off alone
Ebm Bb Ebm C#
We all make our futures but I have lost mine
Ebm Bb Ebm Bb
I'm hoping for a miracle but finding no sign...
B Bb B C#
The stars in their constellations, each one just sadly flickers and falls
B Bb Ebm
Without you, they mean nothing at all.
