So close yet so distant
Fading face embrace is resistant
Words kept hidden
And the shadows dark
Your forbidden heart is shallow
Your emotions are hollow
You haven't learned it's time

'cause you ain't comin' back
'cause you ain't comin' back
'cause you ain't comin' back
'cause you ain't comin' back

It'll never be the same old song
It will never be the same
The cards are stacked
And time's run out
And everything's a game
So sing me your lullaby

'cause I need to know why
Why I keep falling',
Keep fallin'

'cause you ain't comin' back
'cause you ain't comin' back
'cause you ain't comin' back
'cause you ain't comin' back
'cause you ain't comin' back
'cause you ain't comin' back
'cause you ain't comin' back
'cause you ain't comin' back
'cause you ain't comin' back

You know you're shallow
Used to be on the top, but now you've dropped
Lost all your common sense
And now your brain's stopped
There nothing left in your mind except yourself
You gave it all up - your home, your friends, and your health
Now you're out on your own, you've lost your soul
Get a hold of yourself - know your role

So close yet so distant
Fading face embrace is resistant
Words kept hidden
And the shadows dark
Your forbidden heart is shallow,
Your emotions are hollow
You haven't learned it's time

'cause you ain't comin' back
'cause you ain't comin' back
'cause you ain't comin' back
'cause you ain't comin' back
'cause you ain't comin' back
'cause you ain't comin' back
'cause you ain't comin' back
'cause you ain't comin' back
Ain't comin' back
Ain't comin' back
Ain't comin' back
Ain't comin' back
