lyrics

I heard a whisper before you said, "hello"
It said, 'I love you", before you had to
And I stood and watched with hands heavy as mud

And it was me standing behind You
Hands outstretched before you
In a moment, your eyes fell away... and they fell away

And the first thing I remember when I came to
Was the blood dripping to the side of my face
Now, my days are gone, my head is weak and you're the only thing I see
And I'm gone

I painted pictures with your name
Behind my eyes, I wished it all
My little secret trapped in dreams

"Be well", you said and told me not to find you
I bled it all, but I'm done now
It was my mistake

You're just a dream I have at 3am every night
A breath that escapes my lungs
I can hear you at the window sill
"Come down", but I won't because we both know you'll run
And I'll chase
Clawing blindly at the air for the hem of your dress
And I won't find you... I won't find you
And I don't know where I am no more
And you're not coming back
