I am scared of the space you make in my mind Of the black hole a star leaves behind You have pushed the darkness far away But I can't need you, I can't need you to stay Cause one day you might shine in other skies And I will have to learn to turn the light on With supernovas burning up behind my eyes Well, my world will still be brighter Even when you're gone, you're making me stronger With the strength that I grew when you were here It was mine all along, but no longer Will it falter in face of fear On the shortest day of the year And that's thanks to you, my dear I am scared of the space you make in my bed I never noticed it before it held your head You have made my waking up so warm But I can't need you to set my alarm Cause one day you might find another pillow And I will have to fall asleep alone Maybe you won't want to, but you will go, you will go Well, my world will still be brighter Even when you're gone, you're making me stronger With the strength that I grew when you were here It was mine all along, but no longer Will it falter in face of fear On the shortest day of the year And that's thanks to you, that's thanks to you, my dear My dear
