lyrics

There’s an air of silence all around me
Surrounding everything
There’s a ghost lying next to me with nothing in between
The presence of a fallen soul
A beauty never seen
It makes perfect sense to me to believe

Four years ago was the last time that I saw you
I couldn’t trust my eyes
To a sight so intoxicating, I never felt so alive
How could I have been the one, my chance was slim to none
And I know
You were the part of me that I could never let go

I keep holding on, hoping one day I’ll see you one last time
And maybe if I see your light
It’ll be the one thing that keeps me from going blind
I spent all my hope, and now I can’t cope
With the thought of being without you
But in the end, I’ve got everything to lose

I lay a rose at the place where I last saw you
I didn’t want it to be the last time
I took a step back and I realized you wouldn’t be forgotten and I couldn’t find
A reason to live this life and replace my thoughts with a bittersweet memory
I could not go home, without you I’m alone

As I collect my thoughts
I run away
I never thought it would be the same
I didn’t leave
I couldn’t stay
How could I ever look away
I didn’t hear
I couldn’t see
That all along you were here with me
Just one more word
For you to say
