I'm still waiting for the air
And it seems so long ago
When all I need is one deep breath
And one word, that's so I know

I'm still thinking of those times
When the day didn't seem to end
Lately when I close my eyes
Hello darkness, my old friend

[Chorus:] Shattered dreams and broken hearts cannot be stuck together
Haunted visions from the start and I'll take them with me
On and on, and on forever
(One word I have to say but I can't speak a single letter)
(One word is everything)
I'd do anything to be with you (I try not to think you're gone forever), anything

I'm still visiting despair, an old friend I never knew
He has shown me what it's like to lose

[Chorus: ]

(Every dream, every day only in gray)
(Every day I see your face, but only in gray, and you're not there)
(I'm still waiting for the air, anything to have an interlude from the pain)
(And never would those letters end up meaning everything, everything to me)
(One word, but I can't speak, no, it's everything to me)

[Chorus: ]
