You'd never know this was an empty smile
Or that my days have felt like this for quite a while
But no one seems to see it
It's like the whole world just keeps passing me by
By and by

I find every night, I lie awake, I face my darkest fear 
And all these lies, that are whispering won't go away

Break the world I know I fear I'll never see the light of day
I need you here and now
Take the pain I hold, it's crying out to be the end of me
But I can't hear the sound

A thousand days left here in black and white
Longing, looking, hoping for the morning light
I know it's got to be there
I'm just waiting for the glorious sight
By and by

I find every night, I lie awake, I face my darkest fear
And all these lies, that are whispering won't go away

Break the world I know I fear I'll never see the light of day
I need you here and now
Take the pain I hold, it's crying out to be the end of me
But I can't hear the sound

These voices choke away the light
And they infect me with their lies
They try to take away my life
They give their one way out

But I found the Christ, the light of the sky
You've washed them away and now You've given me life
You've shown me the reason, the star in the night
I'm so undeserving now I don't have to hide

Break the world I know I fear I'll never see the light of day
I need you here and now
Take the pain I hold, it's crying out to be the end of me
But I can't hear the sound
