I've seen dark before
 But not like this
 This is cold
 This is empty
 This is numb
 The life I knew is over
 The light's are out
 Hello, darkness
 I'm ready to succumb

 I follow you around
 I always have
 But you've gone to a place I cannot find
 This grief has a gravity
 It pulls me down
 But a tiny voice whispers in my mind
 You are lost, hope is gone
 But you must go on
 And do the next right thing

 Can there be a day beyond this night?
 I don't know anymore what is true
 I can't find my direction, I'm all alone
 The only star that guided me was you
 How to rise from the floor
 When it's not you I'm rising for?
 Just do the next right thing
 Take a step, step again
 It is all that I can to do
 The next right thing

 I won't look too far ahead
 It's too much for me to take
 But break it down to this next breath
 This next step
 This next choice is one that I can make

 So I'll walk through this night
 Stumbling blindly toward the light
 And do the next right thing
 And with the dawn, what comes then?
 When it's clear that everything will never be the same again
 Then I'll make the choice
 To hear that voice
 And do the next right thing
