lyrics

You cut your hair, as if it weren't hard enough already to picture your face
You are fading every single day, my dear
The blackest hair to match your heart and help you disappear
Out in the twilight, or just anywhere but here

Or just anywhere but here…

You were more to me than words could ever say
And my heart just can't convey
And time will never change
But I cared for you like I just can't explain
But you never felt the same
Now as strangers drift apart
Just like time you slipped away

I hear your voice, but it isn't quite the same, and now something's changed
It's just an echo of a distant memory
I shout out into the night, but just the howling wind
Answers me, and nothing else, you couldn't wait

You couldn't wait to be anywhere but here…

You were more to me than words could ever say
And my heart just can't convey
And time will never change
But I cared for you like I just can't explain
But you never felt the same
Now as strangers drift apart
Just like time you slipped away

I hope you never have to know the way this feels
I hope no one ever leaves your heart with its vacancy light always on
But its doors and windows boarded up for good
Please just treasure what you took

This soul of mine is hardened to the grave
But a heart of stone still breaks…
And feels…
And aches…
And reels…
Oh, my dear, if I could I would change
Oh, I've run and run but can't escape
How I cared for you like I just can't explain
But you never felt the same
Now as strangers drift apart
Just like time you slipped away

(And so you want it, so it shall be
Not another word spoken, not another time seen
Never again will I question if I think you'd want to meet
And should your heart change down the line
Then you'll know how it's felt all this time
And for certain, you won't wonder
Why surely I'll be gone)
