Life Out of Love



Life is full, overflowing,
Billowing in the wind.
At the end of the day,
I stare into the sky.

This was the day and time,
It all came, and now gone.
In a minute I bled,
And our lives still went on.

While your here beside me,
And now that I am gone.
We're stuck in the middle,
We stare into the sky.

Then the sun will rise east,
And my heart will fall west.
Thus tomorrow so will you,
And our lives will go on.

So while your here tonight,
Though not for long in heart.
They stare into the sky,
While our lives are bleeding.
