In a full room, I felt so  empty.
Your voice was breaking down,
Your eyes were closing.
I kept pretending you were fine,
Told myself it’s just the light,
But silence filled the space
You used to light.
 
I’m full of rage, I’m torn apart.
Can’t make you stay,
Can’t even make you laugh.
Why’d I leave?
Why’d I say yes?
All I want is to stay with you
In another life.
 
They say it’s just a phase,
They say it’s just a cycle.
They believe in science,
But I believe in miracles.
If I could trade my days for yours,
If I could take away the pain,
I’d rewrite every word
And hold you once again.
 
I’m full of rage, I’m torn apart.
Can’t make you stay,
Can’t even make you laugh.
Why’d I leave?
Why’d I say yes?
All I want is to stay with you
In another life.
It’s been three years,
But it feels like yesterday.

The pain still hasn’t gone away,
And I’ll have to learn to live with it.
Not move on just move through it.
And somehow find the strength
To let you rest in peace
While I keep breathing.
Still torn apart, but I can breathe.
Can’t make you stay,
But I can let you be.
You had to go,
I said goodbye.
But I’ll carry you with me
To another life.
