Since You've Gone — Rise Up Babylon

How can I go on

Every part of me is broken

In this harsh night without a dawn

Since you’ve gone

Are you flying up with the stars

Or are you buried deep in my heart

The world has stopped turning for me

And it won’t start

With you gone

The hope I held out is now withdrawn

I’m a wounded bird who has lost her song

This time I’ve lived without you has already been too long

Since you’ve gone

I believe I’ll find my strength

Though grief has taken my faith

Beauty replaced with desolation

Only devastation since you’ve gone
