Watching while you're slowly sinking.
   It's too hard to say good bye
   As you hold your anger deep inside
   It breaks away the ties.
   There's a love that you are missing.
   Can you rise above it?
   Keep your head up?
   Take it all in stride?
   While inside you slowly die.
  
   Waiting silently I'm watching
   Ever deeper as you slide.
   As you light your candle late at night
   And watch it burn away.
   Come the morning you'll be sleeping.
  
   Can you rise above it?
   Keep your head up?
   Take it all in stride?
   While inside you slowly die.
   When you're miles above it
   Looking down at this thing that you call life
   Just be sure you get it right.
  
   (Chorus)
