[Verse]
Dust on the windows dead flies on the sill
Morning light cuts like a knife too still
Roads outside stretch forever a broken wheel
Nothing moves nothing breathes just time to kill
[Chorus]
Passed me by like a shadow on the hill
Passed me by like water standing still
Every chance every word every fight every lie
It all passed me by it all passed me by
[Verse 2]
A crow on the wire sings its last sad song
Empty fields where the good days all went wrong
Chasing ghosts through the echoes of my mind
Looking back at the life I left behind
[Prechorus]
What’s the cost of a dream that never came
What’s the price of a soul buried in shame
[Chorus]
Passed me by like a shadow on the hill
Passed me by like water standing still
Every chance every word every fight every lie
It all passed me by it all passed me by
[Bridge]
I shouted at the sky but it just turned black
I ran so far I lost the way back
Held my heart in my hands let it slip like sand
Now I stand here alone in this wasteland
