lyrics

Gonna sing a sad song.
A song about you and me.
I never did thank you, girl.
For what you did to help me see.

I just believe it’s here
I hope and pray every day
I’m trapped in a smokescreen
And I can hardly see

I’m just trapped here, caught inside a smokescreen.
I never realized until it was too late.
I’m just trapped here, caught inside a smokescreen.
I never realized until it was too late.

I never never knew just why.
I lie awake almost every night.
Consumed by darkness.
And loneliness, a feverish fight.
I hope I’m dreaming.
This can’t be my life.
I’m just stuck here, and I can hardly open my eyes.

I’m just trapped here, caught inside a smokescreen.
I never realized until it was too late.
I’m just trapped here, caught inside a smokescreen.
I never realized until it was too late.

It’s my life.
You do it, you do it your own way.
Crying, it hurts, it hurts so bad.
Timing, they’re gone, they’re gone by the way.
Dying, it hurts, it hurts so bad when they’re gone.

You’re way outside.
Wish I could turn back time.
Make you happy all your life.
I guess I’ll see you on the other side.
