A thousand others tried and failed
But you were left holding the bag
For the sake of the commonwealth
I surrendered for my health
And absolutely nothing's wrong today
Will nothing ever change?
Are we doomed to live this way
Existing day by day

Oh, no
I wake
To the light of a sunny day
Oh, no
I let go
If you come back I don't want to know

A thousand days to forget your face
But I will always mark your place
Breathe the air of distant lands
You always drift back in the end
And absolutely nothing looks the same
Absolutely nothing's changed
Are we doomed to take this ride?
Existing side by side

Oh, no
I wake
To the light of a sunny day
Oh, no
I let go
If you come back I don't want to know

And all the same
You're still coursing through my veins
Any way you are is all right with me
And all these days
You're still coursing through my veins
Any way you are is just fine by me
As long as you're far away

Oh, no
I wake
To the light of a sunny day
Oh, no
I let go
If you come back I don't want to
Oh, no
I wake
To the light of a sunny day
Oh, no
I let go
If you come back I don't want to know
