oh where have the sympathies gone
now here i am
silenced by the dark
always tried to keep you safe
now you're scared
underneath the brave
somehow in the back of my mind
i knew that this moment would come
look away, look away, shield your eyes
somehow in the back of my mind
i knew that this moment would come
look away
there's so little time to guide you home
so little time
oh where have the simple times gone
now here i am
wrapped up in the cold
i always tried to keep a brave face
no matter what i fate
somehow we must hold on
somehow in the back of my mind
i knew that this moment would come
look away, look away, shield your eyes
somehow in the back of my mind
i knew that this moment would come
look away
so little time
and i don't want
to let you down
i'll stand by you
even if this light fades away
for the truth is i
have the tears/fears in the back of my mind
we may never make it out
never make it out
make it to the other side
somehow in the back of my mind
i knew that this moment would come
look away
look away
shield your eyes
somehow in the back of my mind
i knew that this moment would come
look away
so little time
somehow in the back of my mind
i knew that this moment would come
look away
look away
shield your eyes
somehow in the back of my mind
i knew that this moment would come
look away
there's so little time to guide you home
so little time
so little time to guide you home
so little time
so little time to guide you home
