lyrics

You were my missing piece
You filled up all the holes in me
But now the wounds reopen so I need someone to close them, please?
You’ve never felt real to me
Finding home was a fantasy
You gave me something to believe in, and someone to rely on
So please when you leave, if you could leave the light on

‘Cause I’ve no more songs to sing to you
If fireflies fill your skies
And the sands of time will someday erode the moon
That once lead me back to you

When our songs get lost in time
And the world no longer puts your hand in mine
And our vessels lie empty, a thought that used to scare me
I think of who we can be in our next lives
‘Cause we are more than real
And this life hasn’t just been a lie
Everything you’ve taught me will live in the vault of my heart
For when we restart

I’m sorry all you’ve seen in me
Is just a shadow of your ghost
But we are endless
And in every life I know I’ve loved you the most
