lyrics

Say that you have always felt this weight,
Say that you hate this, that it has to be the same,
And end just like the other ones you’ve loved,
If you have to leave then just leave your stuff for me,

‘Cause I can’t fill the space in between,
My coat in the closet and yours,
All this room is yours.

I left you but your never gonna leave,
I told you but I still can’t believe,
Each word was carried from me by the wind,
And I reached out like a child as though I needed them,

Your eyes were smooth and grey - I thought they were blue,
Maybe they were green, or brown or…
I know that you would like to see me now,
But how can I remember you like this?

Your coat is still cold from the wind,
That night you had to walk home alone,
You were my home,
I was alone.
