lyrics

You’ve always felt like a spectre to me,
You came, I saw you, now you’re fleeting
I wish I could keep you with me forever
But instead you’re free-roaming
You’re so unreal, it’s mystical
I wish I had something, anything at all,
Some part of you I can keep when you leave,
Some proof of life of my love, my everything
My everything

I want proof of us, what we were and what we have,
And how it’s so special, how it’s irreplaceable
You’re always here with me in my heart, and I don’t think that ever will change,
But what if it does?
What if all I’m left with is faded memories,
Losing your voice in a sea of dissonance,
So that’s why I need something, anything at all,
Some piece of you I can hold when you’re gone,
Some proof of life so that I can carry on
I need to carry on

I want proof so even when you’re gone
I can hope to feel something, anything at all,
Even just a glimmer of what we had
But you’re so unreal, intangible
I’m reaching for something to hold when I fall
Some part of you, so when you depart
I’ll have proof of life of you, the one who changed my heart
