Fading out
I still hear your voice in my head
Still lingering on the things I said
Wishing I could take your place instead
You lifted me up
But you left an ember
We might be weak
But we were stronger together
But now I hold the ties you try to sever
You were the light in my void
Healing the scars I tried to destroy
But now you're gone
And I'm left to my own abyss
You shattered me to fragments
I try to piece together
Missing when you changed my weather
You lifted me up
But vanished again
You left a flickering
Smoldering flame
But now...
You're gone...
And I echo your name
Like an attachment
To an empty name
Like morning dew reflects your sight
You numbed the pain, but dulled the light
Like the morning brightness numbs through the mist
You got simple charms that're hard to resist
If I lost myself at the summit
Lost grip and start to plummet
Who would save me from the fall
who would save what can't resolve
Inner peace is hard to find
No place I can truly bind
I'm stuck to wander
Lost and ponder
Where to go
What it means
Who is it
That'll save me from my dreams
Losing you felt like I lost my way
Static feelings but wishing you'd stayed
Flickering darkness in broad daylight
I'd lie
and I'd lie
Until I'd die
Losing you felt like a puzzle to solve
Flickering emotions start to cease
Static hearts start to decrease
but why is everyone leaving me be
Losing you made me reach for closure
I bind you tight
Until it's over
I held you close
You held a knife
But now that you're gone
These are my final goodbyes
Who'll notice my candle burn out
Who's gonna save me from my doubt
If it's all in my head
why does it fill me with dread
But I wish I could've taken your place instead
I guess
I thought
Your love that made me ache
Maybe
The feeling I can't replace
Is just a memory from a lost grace
I don't know...
A place where I truly belong
I just thought...
The efforts
Would go away
But goodbye to the mistakes
I wish I could erase
