I remember when I used to carry you to bed
Kiss your cheek and then your forehead
And it seemed back then that finally something was permanent
Maybe I even believed in perfection until it all got ripped away
I painted the walls a lavender-grey
That was always your favourite shade I know
And I keep the curtains open wide
I know you liked the warmth of the sunlight
Because you were always mine
Now your skin just feels like glass
And your eyes have no life left
Your hair doesn't grow
Your face doesn't glow now
So I keep the lights on bright
Just staring at a single moment
Because it's all that's left; photographs
These soulless, static portraits
I hope you know that I can't let you go
(I just have to learn to live without you here)
Lost my perception of time
And you're always on my mind - won't disappear
No, I won't forget you
Your scent still lingers in the air
And when I close my eyes I feel you there
Memories etched into places and possessions
Reminiscence follows me everywhere
Leaving such heavy impressions
And it hurts so much to know there's nothing I can do
When the only feeling as powerful as your love came when I lost you
There's nothing I can do; I've already lost you
There's nothing I can do - there's nothing I can do now because
Now your skin just feels like glass
And your eyes have no life left
Your hair doesn't grow
Your face doesn't glow now
So I keep the lights on bright
Just staring at a single moment
Because it's all that's left; photographs
These soulless, static portraits
I know you won't be back tomorrow
So drain my veins and leave me hollow
Because you were the air I breathed
Just cut me open and watch me bleed
I know you won't be back tomorrow
So drain my veins and leave me hollow
Because you were the air I breathed
Just cut me open - watch me bleed
I know you won't be back tomorrow
So drain my veins and leave me hollow
Because you were the air I breathed
Just cut me open - watch me bleed
I hope you know that I can't let you go
(I just have to learn to live without you here)
Lost my perception of time
And you're always on my mind - won't disappear
I'm not ready to say goodbye - I'm not ready to let you die
I'm not ready
I remember when I used to carry you to bed
Kiss your cheek and then your forehead...
