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
