You build it up and tear it down

There's no reason to follow you

You left the song without a sound

You left the story I made for you

Softly angels bow and cry

in the stillness of the night

Never is a long time, goodbye

No answers for the asking

It's a long time, goodbye

No mercy for the aching

It's a long time

Oh I see no light on the forsaken

Never is a long time, goodbye

Let's spend the night

when this dream has come to an end

Sometime you laugh,

sometimes you cry

And yes, I've cried over you

You've left me blind in paradise

You've left me hungering

for the touch of you

Snow white angels run and hide

In the blackness of the night

Never is a long time, goodbye

No answers for the asking

It's a long time, goodbye

No mercy for the aching

It's a long time

Oh I see no light

on the forsaken

Never is a long time, goodbye

Let's spend the night

when this dream has come to an end
