Days Without Light

She's yelling at me again
Who knows what I did wrong
Every day is always the same
Every day is the same old song
She tells me that I'm worthless
I've heard it a thousand times
She says that I'm not good enough
It's wearing me down inside

When every day is a constant fight
These are the days without light
When nothing I do is ever right
These are the days without light

When I ask, she says "I'm fine"
But we both know it's a lie
Still, she won't tell me the truth
She's angry, but she won't say why
Now she won't even talk to me
I try, but she walks away
Who knows how long this will last
And there's nothing I can do or say

When silence fills the day and night
These are the days without light
When shades of grey become black and white
These are the days without light

She says she knows that things are rough
But soon it will all get better
Then when I get home from work
On the table is a letter
Scribbled quickly by her hand
Are words I do not want to see
With poison dripping from each word
She says that she is leaving me

When my mood is black as night
These are the days without light
When tear-filled eyes are a constant sight
These are the days without light

"I'm leaving you, there's no one else
But I need to be free to mess around
And you suck the life right out of me
All you do is bring me down
I wish I listened to my mother
I should have known that she'd be right
We're changing all of the locks tomorrow
So pack your things and leave tonight"

When your loved one takes to flight
These are the days without light
When every night you wake from fright
These are the days without light

When the noose becomes too tight
These are the days without light
When death becomes a welcome sight
These are the days without light
