fistful of sand

The Bravery

Every morning I wake up and you are home
But in your eyes I see that I'm alone
You've left me with your body in my arms
But I can't feel you anymore - You are gone

I can touch your skin but you aren't there
Frustration burns in me, it's more than I can bear
I wanna take you in my fists and squeeze the life back into you
But there is nothing I can do - You are gone

And I can hold you in my hands
But you slipped away like a fistful of sand
I can hold you in my hands
But you are gone, you are gone, you are gone

You slipped away like a fistful of sand
You slipped away like a fistful of sand
You slipped away like a fistful of sand
You are gone, you are gone, you are gone

I am staring straight into your eyes
You never turn away or tell me lies
But you are with some other man
While I am lying next to you
And there is nothing I can do, you are gone

And I can hold you in my hands
But you slipped away like a fistful of sand
I can hold you in my hands
But you are gone, you are gone, you are gone

And I can hold you in my hands
But you slipped away like a fistful of sand
I can hold you in my hands
But you are gone, you are gone, you are gone

You slipped away like a fistful of sand
You slipped away like a fistful of sand
You slipped away like a fistful of sand
You are gone, you are gone, you are gone
