  • Dyoweh from Singapore, SingaporeNothing to hold but the memories and frames
    Oh they remind me of the battle I face
    Without your love, without you I drown
    Somebody save me I'm going down

    And I don't even know how I survive
    I won't make it to the shore without your light
    No I don't even know if I'm alive
    Oh, without you now
    This is what it feels like

    awesome lyrics!
