When all my world seemed new and gold
I had all my heart could hold
They told me I could reach the stars, but all they left me with were scars
My sights were clear, my eyes were wide
Young & brave and full of pride
But the one cold truth they'll never say
Is how those moments fade away
I wish my heart were cold and numb
I wash my hands of all I've done
Hard is the night
Heavy is the day
But come sundown I'm gonna drink it all away
It's not the fall that shakes my soul
But memories past that leave a hole
A man with nothing left to lose
Walking a path I did not choose
My eyes are wide, my sights are clear
There's nothing left for me out here
Just take me to the ocean wide
And let me roll out on the tide
I wish my heart were cold and numb
I wash my hands of all I've done
Hard is the night
Heavy is the day
But come sundown I'm gonna drink it all away
And every darkened day I see becomes a bitter part of me
A stranger in this empty town 'til the evening sun goes down
