Holding on fast to a memory
Digging my heels to the ground
Buried my head in the sand - didn't
hear a sound

Hoping like hell just to hang on
Slipping away in the tide
Trying to run from the truth but there's
no where to hide

When it suddenly falls in a heartbeat
And a savior is nowhere in sight
When my world is crashing around me
Will the dark ever turn into light?

When hope is gone, the show is done - the curtain falls
The nights descends, it never ends - it just moves on

All my emotions are dying
Falling away into dust
Feeling the river of tears turn my heart into rust

Now this plane's coming down in a nosedive
And the engine is suddenly cold
And I'm slipping right under the radar
Will I ever find something to hold?

When hope is gone, the show is done - the curtain falls
The nights descends, it never ends - it just moves on
When hope is gone, the show is done

Up all night long
When all goes wrong
And I'll never know what to do

When hope is gone, the show is done - the curtain falls
The nights descends, it never ends - it just moves on
