Matt Simons Lyrics

Another evening falls
As night descends, the world prepares for another cycle of life to end and a new one to begin.

Moonlight starts to drape
The soft glow of the moon becomes a comforting blanket that drapes over everything in sight.

Taking to these city streets
She roams the bustling city searching for solace and a way to escape reality.

She searches for escape
Desperately seeking a way to detach herself from the sorrow and struggles of life.

Daddy's little girl
A daughter who yearns for the love and guidance of her father, yet never received it.

He never got to know
Her father was never given the chance to get to know his daughter, leaving them both with a void of what could have been.

As with every day that's passed
Every day that goes by without resolution creates a deeper and more painful wound.

The void begins to grow
The emptiness inside of her continues to expand and consume her being, leading to a sense of hopelessness.

And I'm sorry I'm the one who let her down
He acknowledges his mistakes and regrets not being there for her when she needed him the most.

I'm so sorry I'm the one who never cared to hang around
He takes responsibility for not being present and recognizes the pain he caused by not prioritizing the relationship.

Now you're stuck here living proof
The sad reality of tragedy has become her painful reality and her suffering is evidence of its existence.

Tragedy is real
There are certain events in life that can bring us to our knees and cut us deep, proving that life is not always bright and sunny.

Swim in seas of millions
The world continues on, indifferent to her struggles and pain, leaving her to feel like she is left floundering in a vast ocean of people who don't understand her plight.

Couldn't care less how you feel
She's learned that in life, there are always people who are unable or unwilling to empathize with her pain.

Somehow life goes on
No matter how hard it may seem, life always moves on and people find ways to make it through the toughest times.

Went out friday night
Life can change drastically in just one night, without warning or preparation.

Never to return
Tragedies do not come with a warning, and in a blink of an eye, everything can change.

You are all sound sleeping as
In moments of tragedy, the world around you can appear to be functioning normally, while your world is crumbling apart.

The fire starts to burn
Disasters can come in different forms, but they all have the power to leave lasting scars on those affected by them.

Huddled in a room
Being surrounded by others during times of crisis can provide comfort and support, even if no words are spoken.

No one says a thing
Sometimes words are not enough to ease the pain, and silence can be the only thing that brings solace to a situation.

Seven pairs of crying eyes
The experience of trauma can bring people together in a shared moment of sadness and sorrow.

Beg that phone to ring
In some of life's darker moments, people cling to hope and the possibility of good news, even if it seems unlikely.

And I'm sorry I'm the one who let him go
He reflects on the ways in which he may have contributed to the situation and places blame on himself for failing to prevent the tragedy.

I'm so sorry I'm the one who took the wheel and lost control
He takes responsibility for his actions that led to the tragedy, recognizing that his mistakes had severe consequences.

Ooo ooo ooo
A vocalization that expresses a deep emotional resonance that cannot be put into words.

Home on tuesday night
Life can seem ordinary and uneventful until tragedy strikes without warning.

Everything seems fine
Tragedy can come from unexpected corners, leaving us unprepared for what comes next.

Suddenly there's pain
A sudden jarring event that shakes one's world and alters it forever.

She dons a robe and gets in line
The monotonous and familiar routines of life can provide a sense of stability and comfort during tumultuous moments.

Been a hundred days
The passage of time can dull the pain of a tragedy, but the memories and scars remain forever.

What a brilliant fight
The fight for survival and perseverance can be beautiful in its unwavering strength.

As the clock strikes 4am
Tragedy does not have a specific time or place, and can come at any moment.

She walks into the light
The end of life can be peaceful, but it also means leaving a world behind and the people who love and care for us.

And I'm sorry there was nothing we could do
He grapples with the helplessness of not being able to prevent tragedy and must come to terms with the fact that some events are beyond our control.

I'm so sorry I'm the one who's left here crying over you
The pain of loss is long-lasting and lingers far beyond the physical act of death.
