The blankest stares are hovering over me and I gasp for air to breathe
to seep inside these veins and not in vain to bring me what I need
And suddenly the memory of you and me is all I see
what could I be when it was for nothing?
and I believed we stood for something.
You reappear everywhere, your ghost is haunting me
I look behind and there you trail, inhaling my faith and taunting me
I struggle to feel your love again
yes, your love again.
Reciprocated but always jaded and then you faded in the end.
You can't pretend you've lost the moments because the truth is plain to see
You rub your eyes a thousand times but blind eyes never feel relief.
The sea, it swallows you and I but you come washed up with the tide
and I am drowning in the sorrow, there is nothing left to borrow
You've run away, you have been rescued
I never meant to shackle you down
My love was all that I could never give, And I'm no longer afraid now that you aren't around
The way this life works is still a mystery
our fear, it becomes our makeup
And once the final minutes count down, that's when we finally start to wake up.
