Is my chance gone
Do I only get one
Are you long gone
Is this really done.
The breath of your voice
On my answering machine
Your energy is down
The mistakes, they repeat.
Calling on you
But you don’t hear me call
The traces remain
All over my wall.
Faking the feeling
The delusion to blame
Laying next to you
Illusion is pain.
Missing your touch
The warmth isn’t there
The silence is cold
Colder than the stare.
Blank is my soul
What was once full of love
Empty the roll
The picture was lust.
Nothing to speak of
Since the day I gave you grace
No one to blame
Just a pain I have to face.
A moment of weakness
A moment to last for good
Love me like you should.
Hold me a little tighter
No distance, pull me near
Speak to me my darling
Forever, not just a year.
I left your shirt with you
Your scent with mine is there
But to carry it with me
The longing I can’t bear.
A needle in the hay
Your love won’t go away
If only for a day
Remind me what you say.
I loved you from the start
The empty of my heart
Complete, but lacks a spark
You left, but left a mark.
I hold you, for what it’s worth
The sun, the moon, the earth
Embrace my final touch
Cause I miss you way too much.
Wish you didn’t go
Wish you’d picked me instead
Wish I didn’t fall
Wish I used my head.
I wish I didn’t leave
I wish I would’ve stayed
I wish I held you tighter
But the bed was already made.
Your eyes they never lied
When your words, filled up the space
The sound of the songs that sang
Became stale, in your old place.
You fed me, now I’m full
Your words, that had no meaning
With my heart, you push and pull.
You come back here for more
You go back home each time
You haunt me in this space
Come take me, now you’re mine.
What’s mine and what’s yours
Let’s open all the doors
Forget all the past
Let’s mop up all the floors.
Leaving behind the tears
No trace of what we had
Just the lines upon your face
And the music, it’s so sad.
The only silence now
Is the silence of when we sleep
My hands on you, your hands on me
If we listen, the birds, they cheep.
Heaven’s with us now
My Heaven is with you
No one else compares
God knows our love is true.
I’ll never say goodbye
I’ll never let you go
We need another chance
It’s time for us to grow.
Please don’t give up.
Please don’t let me go
If you leave, just kill me now
For I’ll just die alone.
Don’t break my heart
Like you did before
Don’t leave my life
Don’t leave me sore.
An empty old soul
Is what you’ll leave
Then don’t turn back
And let me grieve.
If you leave this world
I’ll fall apart
The Heavens will break
This heavy heart.
