I still wake to feel the rain across my empty hands.
And when it dries I still feel the pain of its hollow brand.
I look into your face and see the life you fight to hide.
I remember touching all your scars and understanding why.
But everyday I walk away because you won’t say my name.
Can you hear me as I dream the words I will not say?
I press my skin into the dirt to calm my growing rage
But I can’t stop remembering that you will not stay.

I know how much I’ve lost
But I will never ask for more.
I know that you are gone
But I still feel you in my soul.
I gave to you my all
My love, my fear, my shame.
And no matter how far we separate
I know the pain is not in vain.

You’re better off without me and I’m better off alone.
There’s nothing here to envy, let it lay amongst the stones.
I promised you that I would stay until the very end.
And even though that time has come, I still hear you in my head.
I can never let go of what we had, no matter how lost I’ve become.
I cut a line into my chest in remembrance of what we are.
I dip my fingers into the blame and let it dry under the sun.
The end of the beginning reminds me that I’m the only one.

I know how much I’ve lost
But I will never ask for more.
I know that you are gone
But I still feel you in my soul.
I gave to you my all
My love, my fear, my shame.
And no matter how far we separate
I know the pain is not in vain.

I still wake to feel the rain and I’m better off alone.
And when it dries I still feel the pain, let it lay amongst the stones.
I look into your face and see I would stay until the very end.
I remember touching all your scars, I still hear you in my head.
But everyday I walk away, no matter how lost I’ve become.
Can you hear me as I dream in remembrance of what we are.
I press my skin into the dirt and let it dry under the sun.
But I can’t stop remembering that I’m the only one.

I know how much I’ve lost
But I will never ask for more.
I know that you are gone
But I still feel you in my soul.
I gave to you my all
My love, my fear, my shame.
And no matter how far we separate
I know the pain is not in vain.
