Lights off, a shot in the dark
We get lost when we're playing a part
We lay blame like we know what's best
It's a shame

We break when we fall too hard
Lose faith when we're torn apart
Don't say you're too far gone
It's a shame
It's a shame

I'm still standing here
No I didn't disappear
Now the lights are on
See I was never gone

I let go of your hand
To help you understand
With you all along
Oh, I was never gone

There's space between our lives
Hard to face, but I know we try
To revive, bring it back to life
Don't walk away
Don't walk away

I'm still standing here
No I didn't disappear
Now the lights are on
See I was never gone

I let go of your hand
To help you understand
With you all along
OK, I was never gone

I never ever left you
Never ever left you, no
I said I never ever left you
Never ever left you, no
And Jesus never ever left you
Never ever left you, no
Could seize the evil and the darkness
Now you know you’re not alone

I'm still standing here
No I didn't disappear
Now the lights are on
See I was never gone

I let go of your hand
To help you understand
With you all along
Oh, I was never gone

I'm still standing here
No I didn't disappear
Now the lights are on
See I was never gone

I let go of your hand
To help you understand
With you all along
Oh, I was never gone
