  • I will wander 'til the end of time, torn away from you

    I pull away to face the pain
    I close my eyes and drift away
    Over the fear that I will never find
    A way to heal my soul
    And I will wander 'til the end of time
    Torn away from you

    My heart is broken
    Sweet sleep, my dark angel
    Deliver us from sorrow's hold
    Or from my hard heart

    I can't go on living this way
    And I can't go back the way I came
    Shamed of this fear that I will never find
    A way to heal my soul
    And I will wander 'til the end of time
    Half a life without you

    My heart is broken
    Sweet sleep, my dark angel
    Deliver us, change, open your eyes to the light
    I denied it all so long, oh so long
    Say goodbye, goodbye

    My heart is broken
    Release me, I can't hold on
    Deliver us, my heart is broken
    Sweet sleep, my dark angel
    Deliver us, my heart is broken
    Sweet sleep, my dark angel
    Deliver us from sorrow's hold Writer/s: Amy Lee, Terry Balsamo, Tim McCord, Zach Williams
