Who's to blame?
And who's to say
What is going on inside your head?
I have lost you time and time again
A glimpse of what might have been
Unexpected acuity of thought
But it's gone before too long
And I say

I know you're there
Stay with me if you can

I watched the light fade from your eyes
Fade to black

Why won't you talk?
Is it me?
Have I somehow clipped your wings before
You could even try to fly?
In the light of the Sun
In quiet screenlit rooms I hear you sing
I'll be here for you
Now don't you cry

And I say
I know you're there
And I am aware
Stay with me if you can

I watched the light fade from your eyes
Never to return
In silent corners of my mind
You are just like me

Behind these eyes I know so well
A brilliant mind is trapped
No matter what awaits ahead
A new life has begun

I see you
And I see things the way that they are

Ahead lies a path
Of thorns and sorrow
I'll hold your hand
And sing our lullaby

I know you're there
And I'm aware
Stay with me if you can

I watched the light fade from your eyes
Still you're just like me

Behind these eyes I know so well
A brilliant mind is trapped
No matter what awaits ahead
A new life has begun
